- Wizard Entertainment, formerly known as Wizard Press, is a New York-based publisher of several magazines in fandom: InQuest Gamer, Wizard, INPower!,and ToyFare, along with various special issues for each magazine and the annual Toy Wishes holiday guide. Since the first issue of Wizard magazine was published in 1991, Wizard Entertainment has grown from a publisher of one monthly magazine to a multi-title publishing company with diversified interests in branded products and related convention operations. The magazine originally started as a price guide to comics but evolved into focusing squarely on pop-culture, specifically targeting young adult males. The magazine still features a price guide to comics and action figures in the back of the magazine. The company's Wizard World conventions attracted more than 125,000 attendees in 2005,[citation needed] making it the second largest pop-culture event series in the country,[citation needed] only behind the Comic-Con International series of conventions (San Diego Comic-Con, WonderCon, and APE). Wizard hosts three annual conventions in Chicago, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. The Comic Con tour has continued to expand and change cities such as Texas, New York and Toronto. Chicago and Philadelphia are among the larger comic book conventions in the United States, with Wizard World Chicago in second place behind the San Diego Comic-Con for overall attendance at a single event.[citation needed]
