STGCC UPDATE: KIERON GILLEN, HAVEY TOLIBAO, EXCLUSIVE COMICS & FIRST SINGAPOREAN ARTIST TO DRAW FOR MARVEL
The Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention (STGCC) and Marvel Comics – home of X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, The Avengers, and Thor – will be joining forces again to thrill fans at the 2011 STGCC. Marvel’s international talent scout, C.B. Cebulski, will be back this year to conduct portfolio reviews and spot talented artist. He will be joined by writer Kieron Gillen, who has penned stirring storylines behind Marvel titles including Journey Into Mystery, Generation Hope, Uncanny X-Men, S.W.O.R.D and Thor, and
regional artist Harvey Tolibao, who has worked on Marvel titles such as Darkhawk, Ultimate X-Men and The Mighty Avengers, and has drawn an exclusive Merlion Variant Cover for Captain America #1 that will only be available at the Marvel booth at STGCC.
STGCC will be held on 20 and 21 August 2011 at the Suntec International Convention and
Exhibitions Centre.
First Singapore Artist to Draw for Marvel Comics
Marvel is proud to reveal that they have signed on Singaporean artist 
Mr Benjamin Ang, 27, who made the shortlist in Marvel’s Portfolio Review at last year’s STGCC, to work professionally with the comics titan. Mr Ang is the first Singaporean to be signed to Marvel and was handpicked from hundreds of aspirants from around the region.
“It is truly a dream come true to be able to work with Marvel and alongside some of the most renowned writers and artists in the industry. It is great to have platforms like STGCC where local artists can showcase their works. I aim to add a signature touch to my work and hopefully
inspire more Singaporean artists to chase their dreams.”
