Why: To celebrate the best in comics and witness what everybody is talking about:

“The best awards presentation I’ve ever attended. For anything. Worth the trip to Toronto alone”
- Dan Nadel, PictureBox Inc.

“Two hours of pure comic book entertainment that kept the entire audience captivated. Quite, simply the best comic awards show in the world.”
- Peggy Burns, Drawn and Quarterly

“I wish there was an American comics awards that took itself as seriously as the Doug Wright Awards, but there isn’t.”
-  Dustin Harbin, cartoonist
