Following a record-setting weekend at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Wizard World Inc. (symbol: WIZD) today set the dates for the next Philadelphia Comic Con at June 1-3, 2012, and announced the early commitments of several superstar artists to attend next year's event. Greg Hildebrandt, Greg Capullo, Michael Golden and Mark Texeira will be joined by a bevy of famous international creators at next year's convention, with many more guests to be announced in the coming months.

From overseas, Mike Deodato Jr (Brazil), Ariel Olivetti (Argentina) and three major artists from the Philippines, Stephen Segovia, Carlo Pagulayan and Harvey Tolibao, will appear.

“Philadelphia Comic Con is a flagship event that went extremely well this past weekend. We're excited to announce our 2012 dates with such a prestigious group of artists,” said Gareb Shamus, Wizard World CEO. “With Deodato, Hildebrandt, Segovia, Pagulayan and Tolibao, we are bringing fans closer to the best artists from all over the world, many of whom haven't appeared in the United States in many years. I'm already impressed with our lineup, and we have 12 months left to go. We also want to congratulate Wizard World fan favorite Greg Capulo on his Batman duties; the art we've seen is quite awesome.”
