WINDSOR COMICON RETURNS TO CAESARS WINDSOR
TFcon Promoter Colin Douglas Assumes Leadership of Local Pop Culture Event.
Windsor, ON. Windsor ComiCon is pleased to announce its return to The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor (August 12-13, 2017). As an all-ages pop culture event, the show has thrilled fans during its first two instalments in 2015 and 2016 respectively while featuring guests that ranged from Kevin Smith and Sean Astin through to Lou Ferrigno.
This, the 3rd instalment will also witness a change in leadership through Colin Douglas; a long time collector of comic books and action figures who is known in the fan community as the promoter behind TFcon (tfcon.ca); the world’s largest fan-run Transformers convention held annually in Mississauga, Ontario for the last 16 years. Douglas’ passion for all things geek also resulted in the creation of Ontario Collectors Con (ontariocollectorscon.com) and the ‘80s Toy Expo that he produces every year, which also gives other fans a place to find rare and import toys, comics and collectibles.
“I’m extremely excited to be able to provide what will be a fantastic event for the fans in Windsor-Essex County and the surrounding areas,” says Douglas.
Douglas acquired the rights and ownership of Windsor ComiCon through past president Steve Menzie.
“The success of Windsor ComiCon will certainly prosper under Colin’s leadership,” says Menzie. “I encourage the communities of Windsor-Essex to continue to support this great pop culture event.”
Menzie, who acquired ownership of the Sport Card & Memorabilia Expo (sportcardexpo.com) in 2016 also took over the license for Spartan Race Canada (spartanrace.ca) where has assumed the role of General Manager.
Local Windsorite Jeremy Renaud, who worked with Menzie in the past on Windsor ComiCon has joined him at both the Sport Card & Memorabilia Expo and Spartan Race Canada but will provide assistance to Douglas going forward.
