If anyone wants to do a dinner on Saturday night I can make some recommendations and help put it together. This place is not really in Morristown per se but Morristown has some nice restaurants.

GSCF is proud to Welcome back Greg Hildebrandt to Garden State Comic Fest July 9-10th at Mennen Arena in Morristown NJ. This is a super rare appearance by the living legend himself.

 

For years Greg and Tim the Brothers Hildebrandt worked together and apart, receiving international recognition and numerous awards and honors. In 1975, Greg and Tim illustrated the first of a series of Lord of the Rings calendars for Ballantine Books. In 1977, Lucas Film hired the Brothers to create the 1st movie poster for the Star Wars film,Star Wars: A New Hope.

In 1981, they pursued separate careers. During the ’80s

Greg’s art appeared on covers for Omni and Heavy Metal. The Franklin Mint and Lenox issued his work on collector’s plates, figurines, dolls and swords. In l984, Greg illustrated Mary

Stewart’s Merlin trilogy, and he has illustrated 15 classics, including: The Wizard of OZ, Aladdin, Robin Hood, Dracula and Phantom of the Opera. When commenting on Greg's work the New York Times said, “Fortunate the child or adult who receives a gift of the classics richly illustrated by Greg Hildebrandt.”

After 12 years apart, the Brothers reunited in 1993. They worked on Marvel posters, pre-production art for Stan Lee and Michael Uslan, producer of the Batman films, a King Tut book, the 1994 Marvel Masterpieces card set, X-Men and Spiderman card sets, Terry & The Pirates comic strip and an X-Men 2099 painted bookshelf edition. In 1999, Greg began to paint a life-long dream. He created his 'American Beauties' series of retro pinup art. There are presently 90 amazing paintings in this series, and Greg says the possibilities of what to paint next are endless! Greg and Tim have also done paintings for a number of Magic The Gathering cards.

Since Garden State's last show Greg has also got back into doing a number of comic covers for Marvel including Secret Wars, Old Man Logan, and Deadpool vs.Thanos to name a few.

Make sure to come out and meet this great art icon!
