2010 Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo Wrap-Up Post

The Fabler was present and accounted for at this year’s Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, which took place April 24th/25th.

Creator Interview: Adam Bourret of I’m Crazy

Adam Bourret wrote a comic book called I’m Crazy, which was about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Gay Romance, Hallucinations, Drugs, and Secrets. If this doesn’t pique your initial interest, you probably wouldn’t be interested in this interview and I would instead highly recommend visiting the official website for the Family Circus (http://www.familycircus.com/).

If you are interested, in this post Adam talks about winning the Best English Award at Expozine, how people living with OCD have responded to his book, and why he wouldn’t do another regular webcomic. He also talks about his next book, “Mighty Ernestine”. Awesomeness ensues.

Artist Interview: Eric Vedder of Aardehn and Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors

This week The Fabler Blog chats up Eric Vedder, creator of the Transmission X webcomic Aardehn and penciler for Udon Comics.

Eric aka Ved! aka The World’s Greatest Detective was more than willing to divulge critical info about his experience working on Darkstalkers, his influences with the webcomic Aardehn, and how posting an update to his webcomic predominantly featuring probing tentacles made him uneasy (also the reasoning behind why he posted it anyway).
