Toronto Comicon is a spectacular three-day Sci-Fi, Horror, Anime, and Gaming event in Canada that attracts thousands of people to come to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, in Toronto, Ontario, taking place from March 20 to 22. Every year, Toronto Comicon offers exciting family-friendly attractions, events, world-renowned celebrities and a variety of comic creators including Duane Murray.
Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Duane Murray graduated from York University’s Acting Conservatory in 1998 and is an alumnus of the National Screen Institute, and TIFF Studio for writing and producing. He has script consulted on projects for multiple companies and studios, and has worked in developing and writing television adaptations including the International Bestselling novels ‘The Last Rituals’, ‘Prey’ and ‘Mythago Wood’. He has also acted in multiple productions, highlighted by playing Hansi Kalkofen in the Academy Award-winning Best Picture Spotlight. He also had a part as the announcer in TV mini-series adaptation of Jeff Lemire’s Essex County. Duane is also the Ringo-nominated author of the Top Shelf graphic novel Better Place illustrated by Shawn Daley. His latest project is Who Are The Power Pals? from Dark Horse Comics.
Who Are The Power Pals? is the story of “washed-up actors Derek and Alex have been best friends ever since playing teen superheroes “Swallow” and “Buzzard” in the ’90s TV show Power Pals. When a video of the duo defending tourists from being badgered by a pair of rip-off characters goes viral, the attention inspires them to fight more crime. But when their low-level crime-fighting inadvertently disrupts the plans of a crazed crime boss, their friendship will undergo the ultimate test, and it—or they—may not survive long enough to enjoy their new found fame.”
