Toronto Comicon This Month

In less than thirty days, the Toronto Comicon will be filled with dealers,
con attendees, and guests. This year’s show also features the Shusters, a
Canadian comic book creator award that will be given at the convention. The
Shuster Awards are given in honor of Canadian-born co-creator of Superman Joe

April 30.
