Top Cow has a long and proud tradition of finding and nurturing young talent under the watchful eye of founder Marc Silvestri in their in house studio, lovingly referred to as “The Pit.” Previous alums of the studio include Michael Turner, David Finch, Joe Benitez, Billy Tan, Keu Cha, and Mike Choi among others. Current members of the studio include Eric Basaldua, Michael Broussard, Nelson Blake II, and Sheldon Mitchell. Top Cow is looking to open one or more spots in the studio and aspiring artists’ first opportunity to try out will be at this year’s Comic-Con International.
Top Cow will be set up in booth #2629 at the show. President Matt Hawkins, Publisher Filip Sablik, and Managing Editor Phil Smith will review portfolios on Thursday and on Friday from 11am until 1pm.
