(Watch this announcement, complete with ‘70s sci-fi TV theme funk, in video form!)
We’re starting off our Guest of Honor announcements for BABSCon 2020 with one supernova of a guest star. Of course, not all big guests on an animated show are voice actors…sometimes they’re writers. Writers like the amazing Gail Simone!
Gail wrote one of Season 9’s most beloved episodes, “Between Dark and Dawn,” which finally gave us the Celestia & Luna-centric story we’d always wanted. And, while she has other animated credits, including episodes of Justice League Unlimited and Batman: The Brave and the Bold, it’s in comics where Gail is known as a goddess.
After rattling enough comics industry cages with her Women in Refrigerators web site in the late '90s, Gail took up the pen herself to show them how it’s done. This resulted in runs ranging from merely “beloved” to downright definitive on little indie titles like Wonder Woman, Deadpool, Batgirl, Birds of Prey, Red Sonja, Secret Six, Plastic Man, Domino, Welcome to Tranquility, and so…many…more.
Additionally, Gail’s Twitter feed has been known to cure boredom, depression, snark-deficiency, and the desire to quit Twitter entirely.
So have a tin of crypto-ham, heat up that tea in the American style—with a kettle, unlike those beastly Brits with their microwaves—don’t let Gambit narc on you, register now, and book your room to come see Gail Simone and all our upcoming Guests of Honor at BABSCon…AND BEYOND!
