2008 Admission Prices and Show Hours!

PARADISE TORONTO COMICON JULY 12-13 2008.

With our relocation to the beautiful Holiday Inn on King you will still have access to over 35,000 square feet of artists and dealers and will now be in the heart of Downtown Toronto (you are 5 minutes from all the trendy bars and restaurants on King) Transit will not be a problem as you are now a 5 minute walk from St Andrew Subway Station and the 504 King Street Car drops you off right in front of the hotel.

With our move to July, you get to see Toronto at its best - warm weather makes for a great road trip for those of you located outside of the Greater Toronto Area.

For our American friends who come up this is one of the cheapest admission prices for a show of this quality you will find during the entire convention season convention season! (It is only a 1 hour flight from Chicago, New York and Pittsburgh. It is 1.5 hour drive from Buffalo, 4 hours from Detroit and 6 hours from Pittsburgh).

 

SATURDAY 10AM – 7:00PM

Saturday is Opening Day and what we have planned is incredible. Stay tuned for the announcement of panels and a special Sketch Off by some of your favourite artists with all proceeds going to the HERO INITIATIVE. plus the COMICS FOR KIDS area and reading room will return for a third year.

 

SUNDAY 10AM-5PM

Sunday is the day for bin diving! Your last chance to find the collectibles missing from your list, to catch up with the guests, to make your way through Artists Alley to see the cutting edge and the next great comic book creators, and the COMICS FOR KIDS area and reading room will be going strong. Art collectors take note that Sunday is the concluding day of the Annual PARADISE SILENT COMIC ART AUCTION with funds raised to benefit the HERO INITIATIVE.

 

2008 ADMISSION PRICES (All Prices in Canadian dollars):

 

1-Day Pass: $15

The single day pass gets you in on the day of your choice and gives you FULL access to that day's events.

 

Weekend Pass: $25.

The 2-Day Pass gets you in for the entire weekend and you save $5 in the process. This gives you FULL access to the events on the days you attend. As a BONUS thank-you to all who purchase the Weekend pass we will give you one of our EXCLUSIVE Comicon variants from 2005 or 2006 (AS LONG AS SUPPLIES LAST). So not only do you get TWO days of convention fun but you also get an exclusive variant!

 

ALSO, please note that ALL CHILDREN AGED 12 AND UNDER GET IN FREE when accompanied by a paying admission. The 2008 Paradise Toronto Comicon promises to be fun for the whole family of comic book fans, and this year's special COMICS FOR KIDS area and reading room promises to be fun for the younger set!

are happy and a little scared to welcome

MILLER & MULLET :screwy:

Miller & Mullet are punk clowns gone bad. If you've seen any of their guest appearances on Ed & Red's Night Party, you'll know what we mean. They keep showing up at these conventions, so we figure it's safer to put them behind a table where they can't break anything. Plus they can sell their comic book Miller & Mullet in Space, which is drawn by rising star Kameron Gates (www.kamgates.deviantart.com). Buy many, many copies. But be warned, every time they drop by the store to promote the series, our lunches disappear, so watch your food around them. Miller & Mullet are threatening to release a live-action DVD this year, which may or may not be entitled How to Promote Your Comic Book at Paradise Comics When Peter's Eating Lunch. As you read this blurb, Miller & Mullet are avoiding all hard work on their comic’s latest issue and need more incentive,

so visit http://www.millerandmullet.com.

 

And Paradise Conventions

welcomes

SHAWN SMITH

What can be said about this reclusive writer besides the fact that he is now sitting on a pile of short stories, a few novels and a ton of poetry.

In the past Shawn has demonstrated his worth by being the writer and ghost writer for many works. In the 90's one of his claims to fame was working on the projects that put the hockey players on the back of Kraft Dinner and Jell-O packaging, before being published in foreign markets including Japan. Shawn wrote for the online magazine Nagoya Life for two years - and it was the owner and Editor In Chief of Nagoya Life, who after reading a rough draft of Regei on a flight to Beijing, convinced Shawn to stop hacking around with jocose articles and put some purpose behind the writing.

Shawn is the writer for Project: Epsilon and Magus Rex and is the co-writer for Velvet Angel with Derrek Lennox

hmm... I must've read it somewhere else.

 

Nope, you are correct, Dave did cancel a bunch of appearances mainly due to the reaction to his 'tour' of websites to promote Glamourpuss. There was also note on either Val's , Heidi's or Bog@'s site that he had cancelled all appearances to promote the book. I don't think the Paradise show is a 'promotional' show for Dave. But based on his latest meltdown(s) , you have to wonder if he will be making any public appearances at all in the near future.

 

Question: Is Herb Trimpe still scheduled to come? I had a couple of SS requests for 2 shows that were not fulfilled because he cancelled. Is he still in good health?
