The Fabler is, among other things, a growing international community of comic book artists, writers, and fans.
The word ‘international’, however, might seem a little inconsistent with the content we’ve predominantly featured here on The Fabler Blog.
I’ll be the first to admit that in The Fabler Blog’s first year of life, I’ve maintained a strong emphasis on Canadian talent in the profiles and interviews I’ve posted. This, I believe, is rightly so – with the exception of very few news blogs, such as Sequential and the Joe Shuster Awards Blog, Canadian comickers don’t often receive a load of media coverage.
My contributions to The Fabler Blog have largely been an attempt to increase that load, while also providing content relevant to the interests of a growing online community of comic artists.
The Fabler Blog’s contribution to the figurative Canadian load, however, may distract some from the true international nature of the site. (Whew, what a mouthful!)
So here’s my pitch: I’m moving all existing profiles, interviews, and news updates about Canadian comickers into a whole new category – a column which I will continue to contribute to regularly.
