Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon
In 2003, Paradise Comics created a comic book convention, Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon,[1] popularly known as the Toronto Comic Con. In 2009, Wizard Entertainment acquired the Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon, "a show that ha[d] been consistently awarded The Best International Comic Book Convention (non-USA) by ComicBookConventions.com, for the last five years."[2] Peter Dixon would continue to be involved with the convention,[3] which was renamed Wizard World Toronto. (The convention went defunct after 2012.)
