Bob Greenberger, this year's Comics
Guest of Honor, has been participating at I-Con since the very first
show 23 years ago.
For most of that time, he has worked for DC Comics and is currently
Senior Editor-collected editions. Over the years he was worked
as an editor and an administrator with an impressive array
of credits ranging from the unheralded Atlantis Chronicles
to Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol. He has also worked at Starlog
Press, Gist Communications and had a year at Marvel that still
gives him night sweats. Additionally, Bob is a freelance writer
with numerous articles, short stories and novels to his credit,
most set in the Star Trek Universe. He has also made his mark
with a series of Young Adult non-fiction works aimed at middle
school readers. Bob makes his home in Connecticut with his
wife Deb and children Kate and Robbie.
Due to unfortunate circumstances, Comics guests Rich Buckler,
Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer have been forced to cancel their
appearances at ICON-23. We are deeply sorry that they could
not join us and sorry for any inconveniece this has caused
to any attendees. Please bear with us as we will try to find
new programming for the convention.
