Special Guest: Ron Frenz

We are very pleased to welcome Ron Frenz to the ranks of the Mid-Ohio-Con 2009 guest list! Ron burst onto the comics scene in the 1980s when he followed John Romita, Jr.'s acclaimed run on The Amazing Spider Man starting with issue no. 251. His brilliant redux of the cover of Amazing Fantasy no. 15 with the first appearance of Spider-Man's black costume in issue no. 252 indellibly etched his name and work into the minds of fans. Ron co-created Spider-Girl with writer Tom DeFalco, which was the longest-running superhero book with a lead female character ever published by Marvel before being re-launched as The Amazing Spider-Girl. Ron’s remarkable body of work also includes such titles as The Mighty Thor, Ka-Zar the Savage, The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Marvel Saga, Thunderstrike, and Superman. With the recent conclusion of the critically acclaimed Spider-Girl (vol. 2) series with issue #30, Ron is currently working on Outdoor Life's one-page comic strip It Happened to Me, the Spectacular Spider-Girl Marvel Digital comic, and will be soon be working on the Black Knight four-chapter serial. In June 2009, Ron was honored by the Toonseum of Pittsburgh with the Nemo Award for Excellence in the Cartoon Arts.
