Mark Texeira Blasts into Planet ComiCon!Joins Ghost Rider panel with other industry Greats! 

Kansas City–The cities largest pop culture and comic book event has just become a little bit more incandescent with the addition of stellar  “Ghost Rider” and “MoonKnight” artist Mark Texeira at their upcoming two-day constellation of media and industry talent. 

You know artist Mark Texeira from his recent awesome interior art on the guy with the flaming skull, but even more of you know him from his fine art painting technique applied to such characters as Batman, Conan and Vampirella to name just a few.

Classically trained under the tutelage of Max Ginsburg and David Leffel, Tex is one creator continuing to burn the midnight oil, with recent covers for Maxim Magazine and Hard Case Crime…and a few other surprises to be announced soon–including an art exhibition in New York.
