ACTOR Raises Over $9k at Toronto Comicon
veterans in need, raised over $9,000 recently at Paradise Comics Toronto
Comicon.
A.C.T.O.R. received a large amount of support from comic artist,
fans, and friends of the nonprofit organization. They accomplished this awesome
feat with their amazing booth guests which included Dave Johnson, JG Jones, Ty
Templeton, Mike Mayhew, Darwyn Cooke, David Lloyd, Talent Caldwell, J. Michael
Straczynski and Frank Cho and George Pérez.
Also, Paradise Comics
Toronto Comicon founder and promoter Peter Dixon agreed to get his head shaved
at the con if fans donated $1,000 to A.C.T.O.R. The generous Toronto crowd
donated just over $1,200 for the shearing, and Peter got his head
shaved.
“For sale, one tube of hair gel, slightly used, and one
hair brush. $5 bucks or best offer,” said Dixon.
Legendary artist
and A.C.T.O.R. Board Member George Pérez commented, “As an
A.C.T.O.R. rep, I really want to thank Peter Dixon, who was a really good sport.
It was a real gas watching the crowd gathering around to cheer him on as the
shearing festival commenced. I’m especially grateful that Gail Simone —
amazingly enough, a trained hairstylist! — was also a guest of the show, and
she took on the lion’s share of the clipping. That must have saved Peter a lot
of torture. With me doing the final passes I actually had my first collaboration
with Gail. Hopefully, there will be more. I guess I can thank Peter for that as
well.”
