His early loves were Spider-Man, Batman, and Mad magazine.[15] As a teenager, he gravitated to more mature comics created by artists like Todd McFarlane and Frank Miller (who began working on The Dark Knight Returns and Daredevil when Shamus was a teenager in the 1980s).[16] Shamus studied economics at the University at Albany, SUNY and graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and a minor in art in 1990.[17] Wizard Entertainment{{main|Wizard Entertainment}}In the 1980s, Shamus' parents opened a sports card and comic book store in Nanuet, New York, where Shamus worked.[19] When he graduated from college, he started comic book newsletter, The Guide to Comics, for the store’s customers. It became so popular that in 1991 he turned it into a monthly magazine. After only one year, Wizard went worldwide, published in over fifty countries and in multiple languages,[16] and Shamus became a celebrity in the comic book world.[5] Over the next few years he launched more magazines covering toys, games, animation and everything “superhero” (movies, TV shows, video games and toys). As Wizard Entertainment, Shamus bought the Chicago Comicon in 1997, and expanded its scope and boosted attendance from a few thousand to 25,000 the following year[18].
