Well, things have changed for the Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon in 2006. Here are some excerpts taken off their website (http://www.torontocomicon.com):
Due to increased work commitments Stan Lee will be unable to attend the April 28-30 2006 Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon, where he was slated to appear as the Guest of Honor. Plans are currently underway to include Stan in the event by video conference.
Paradise Conventions is proud to welcome master illustrator and industry legend George Perez to the 2006 Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon as Guest of Honor.

I have to admit it’ll be cool to see Perez. I actually have a (if you can remember them!) comic-creator collectible card proof with both Perez and Aragones on it. Sergio signed it when I met him back in 1991 and now I’ll have a chance to get George to sign it as well! 🙂
Hey, Francisco, we have to set a weekend between now and then for you to come over and we can go collector box hunting in my basement and dig out those books we spoke about this past weekend 🙂
