I’ll be packing up the car and heading east this weekend for the 2011 iteration of the MONTREAL COMIC-CON.

Last year I worked at the event which saw unprecedented growth – with over 8000 attendees in 2010 this is an event to watch, especially with headliners Stan Lee, Adam West and Burt Ward. This year I’m just exhibiting – the Joe Shuster Awards have a booth at the event where I’ll have prints and books available for our annual fundraising efforts. We are leaning towards presenting the awards in 2012 in conjunction with this event, so part of this weekend’s mission is fact-finding.

Here are the details on the event:
