ComicsPRO Keynote Speech to be Delivered by Dynamite CEO Nick Barrucci

Nick Barrucci, CEO/Publisher of Dynamite Entertainment and 36th on the Bleeding Cool Top 100 Power List will be the Keynote Speaker for the 2020 Comic Industry Conference sponsored by ComicsPRO, being held next week in Portland, Oregon from February 20th to the 22nd.

"I'm thrilled that Nick is speaking at our event," said Marco Davanzo, Executive Director of ComicsPRO. "He's been in the business for 37 years and has a great knowledge of the comics industry.  His enthusiasm is second to none.  And he's worked as both a retailer and a publisher.   I'm really looking forward to his speech"

"It's an honour to be chosen this year to be the keynote speaker at ComicsPro, such an integral event to our industry that we all love so much.," said Nick Barrucci, Dynamite CEO and Publisher. "At Dynamite, we've been fortunate to have great successes recently on The Boys, Vampirella, Red Sonja and becoming a Premier Publisher. This is all thanks to stellar work from our creators and staff, trust from retailers and fans, and additional important industry factors that I hope to discuss at the conference with peers."

I first knew Nicola Barrucci when he ran Dynamic Forces, a company creating licenced staties and limited edition signed comics, before he span that out into creating a licensed Army of Darkness comic and kicking off Dynamite Entertainment – I even wrote a column for his website waaaaaay back when too. And now over the last 16 years publishing the likes of James Bond, Grumpy Cat, The Expendables, Red Sonja, The Boys, The Spirit, The Shadow, Bionic Man, Warlord Of Mars, Dejah Thoris, Green Hornet, Superpowers, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt, Vampirella, Chaos!, Game of Thrones, John Wick and more, with creators including Kevin Smith, Alex Ross, Neil Gaiman, Andy Diggle, John Cassaday, Garth Ennis, Jae Lee, Marc Guggenheim, Mike Carey, Jim Krueger, Greg Pak, Brett Matthews, Matt Wagner, Gail Simone, Steve Niles, James Robinson, Warren Ellis, Darick Robertson, Frank Cho, Meghan Hetrick, Jim Krueger and many more.

If you are going to ComicsPRO, do let me know how Barrucci's speech goes down. He will probably have a lot to say.
