Los Angeles Comic Con

Wizard World Inc. announces the Los Angeles Comic Con held between September 24 - 25, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The famed Brazilian Artist Mike Deodato Jr. is featured as the premier Guest of Honor.  The Brazilian artist, well known for his work on The Amazing Spider-Man, Captain America, The Mighty Thor, Wolverine, X-Men, The Avengers, and Batman, will be making a rare U.S. appearance.

Gareb Shamus, the President and CEO of Wizard World, Inc., shows his excitement: "We are ecstatic to come to the rejuvenated downtown area of Los Angeles to celebrate the best of pop culture - graphic novels, TV, movies, toys, games, genre properties and of course, comic books. You can always trust Wizard World to bring the most diverse and robust collection of artists, writers, creators and celebrities anywhere.”

Clare Kramer, of Buffy: The Vampire fame, will also be in attendance. A popular guest at several of the Wizard World Tour stops, Kramer will be on hand to meet fans, sign autographs and take photos. "When I found out that Wizard World was coming to Los Angeles, I was so excited. They are one of the most professionally run organizations out there, and I just love every minute of it," said Clare Kramer. "The fans, Wizard World, guests and vendors always have a blast at these shows, which is why I keep coming back for more!"

This event brings more of what the fans love about the Wizard World Tour. "There is a real need for a Fall event that encompasses all the best that pop culture has to offer," said Mike Mathews, Chairman of Wizard World Inc. "We’re listening to our customers and giving them the show they’re asking for located in the entertainment mecca."
