Top American artist coming to Brum

Popular Astonishing X-men and Captain America artist John Cassaday is the latest top name to be confirmed for the Birmingham International Comics Show this October.

Cassaday first came to prominence for his award winning work on Planetary with writer Warren Ellis about a decade ago.
