Profiling Marta Chudolinska, author/artist of Back + Forth: A Novel in 90 Linocuts

It is a post that does not pertain to profiling or interviewing an artist of any sort, nor does it (predominantly) discuss critical items to Canadian indie comic creators.

In this post specifically, we talk news about The Fabler.com’s overhaul, Free Comic Book Day, the Siegel/Warner Bros. litigation hearings, and Scott McCloud.
