Bob Layton
Bob Layton is legendary for his #Ironman and with the #Avengers #AgeOfUltron trailer today we couldn't wait any longer to announce him as on of our comic guests at C4 - Central Coast Comic Con. You can bring your comics for him to sign, but he is far more than just an artist. One of the comics industry’s true visionaries at every level, creator, writer, artist, designer, and entrepreneur, Bob Layt...on has successfully migrated to other media, including television, animation and feature films. If you’ve seen the Iron Man movies, then you’re familiar with Bob’s work, as the DVD extras make clear. Bob reinvented the Iron Man comic in the late 70s, taking it from near-cancellation to one of Marvel’s all-time bestselling series. The classic Iron Man story “Demon in a Bottle” was recently voted “one of the top 20 comic stories of all time”. Bob also is credited as the co-creator of Marvel’s War Machine and DC Comics’ The Huntress, as well as designing Mattel’s hugely-successful “Secret Wars” toy line. Numerous concepts and characters that Bob created are represented and credited on the silver screen in the 2008 motion picture “Iron Man” and the sequels, “IRON MAN 2 & 3“. Bob was on the set and had the thrilling opportunity to consult with the talented cast and crew. Bob also launched the first mini-series in comics’ history at Marvel with his highly-praised Hercules—Prince of Power. That series, which Bob Layton wrote and drew, spawned a successful sequel, a graphic novel and is still available to this day in trade paperback format. Layton also revived the original X-Men characters at Marvel with his groundbreaking series X-Factor. While at Marvel, Bob designed the highly-successful Marvel Secret Wars toy line for Mattel, which has been recently re-released by #Hasbro Toys.
