GAREB SHAMUS, WIZARD ENTERTAINMENT CEO, BUYS TORONTO COMICON
Shamus expands brand internationally by buying critically acclaimed international convention!
Posted 6/24/2009
New York, NY (June 24, 2009) - Gareb Shamus, CEO of New York based Wizard Entertainment, announces today that he has purchased the Toronto Comicon, a show that has been consistently awarded The Best International Comic Book Convention (non-USA) by ComicBookConventions.com, for the last five years.
"We've always had a strong following in Canada, so buying the Toronto Comicon is something that allows me to give back to our fans. These attendees are known to be serious collectors and comic industry followers," said Shamus. "I am thrilled to offer the guests, celebrities, artists, dealers and exhibitors to our Canadian audience for the very first time."
Peter Dixon, owner of Paradise Conventions and former owner of the Toronto Comicon, will still be intimately involved in the show production, his friendly manner ensuring the continuation of the trademarked relaxed atmosphere of the show.
"Wizard brings greater industry recognition and star power to the show. I'm excited about having the fans get this bigger experience," said Dixon.
The next show dates have not been set yet, but the newly managed Toronto Comicon is expected to debut in 2010.
