Bob Layton has just been announced as a special guest for Florida Supercon 2013! 
Bob Layton has, for all intents and purposes, done it all in the comics industry. As writer, artist, inker, editor, editor in chief, creator, Bob has been a major name in the comic book field for over 30 years. He is known as the definitive artist of Iron Man, having re-imagined the character in 1978 with writing partner David Michelinie and then, years later, Bob and David came back to Iron Man to revitalize it once more, first with the revolutionary Silver Centurion armor design and then, with the wildly-successful story arc—"Armor Wars". Bob also launched the first mini-series in comics' history at Marvel with his highly-praised Hercules—Prince of Power. That series, which Bob Layton wrote and drew, spawned a successful sequel and a graphic novel. Layton also revived the original X-Men characters at Marvel with his groundbreaking series--X-Factor. While at Marvel, Bob designed the highly-successful Marvel Secret Wars toy line for Mattel. Second only to his tenure on Iron Man, Bob is also known for his innovative contributions to the Valiant Comics line-- first as co-architect of the Valiant Universe, and then, as Editor-in-Chief and Senior Vice President.
