Broken Frontier

Vanguard Productions in concert with Wizard World presents, in Philadelphia (June 15-17, 2007), an appearance by three of the greatest creators to ever work in comics. Carmine Infantino, Joe Kubert and Jim Steranko! True living legends: Flash, Batgirl and Poison Ivy creator, Carmine Infantino; Hawkman, Sgt. Rock and Tarzan artist Joe Kubert; and comics' consummate sorcerer, Steranko, will make history with this once-in-a-lifetime group appearance at the Vanguard booth in Philadelphia at Wizard World East 2007.

In addition to films, bookcover illustrations and his Marvel comics innovations, Steranko, as an escape artist, incited a superheroic counterpart in Jack Kirby's Mister Miracle, and according to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon, Steranko was also the inspiration for the hero of THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY and its spin-off The Escapist.
