NEW YORK and PHILADELPHIA, June 20, 2021 – Following a record-setting weekend at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Wizard World Inc.

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.
