Peter Dixon and our friends at Toronto’s Paradise Comics are kicking off a new series of comic book conventions, The Toronto Comics Show, which has been created to be a friendly, accessible, and welcoming show for enthusiasts of all ages.

Their first show will be Sunday June 1, 2014, followed by a second one on Sunday June 29. Both will run from 11 AM to 5 PM with $5 admission and free parking.

Hosted at Leaside Gardens, 1073 Millwood Road, Toronto, ON, it will be at Laird, South of Eglinton, and promises to be a return to grassroots comic book shows with the aim to provide a monthly venue for readers and collectors to have an environment dedicated to comic books.
