Gibson Twist is an eloquent fellow who writes comic books for online distribution. Sometimes, as with Pictures of You, he also illustrates them.
You should probably get to know Gibson a bit better. Luckily for you, this happens to be a post profiling him. What chance! What fortune! What stroke of fate!… etc.
Really though, Gibson is a pretty darn rad artist/writer, and you would be remiss not to check out his work.
Marvel is suing Jack Kirby’s heirs over their notice to terminate a number of copyrights beginning in 2014. We provide CONTEXT and CLARITY into the issue for those CURIOUS about COPYRIGHT issues in COMICS.
Today is a day for alliterating the letter C.
Another featured Fabler! New Zealander Andrew Johnson chatted with the Fabler about his work in comics, with a specific focus on his web-based comic about a future dystopia, Kingdom.
Kevin D interviews Alison Acton, creator of the fabulously perverse (yet still, at times, oddly touching) webcomic Bear Nuts.
Every possible topic under the moon is covered, except for topics that aren’t about Bear Nuts, Alison’s own Dooomcat Studios, her manga illustration on The Faerie Path, and motherhood. Oh, and Jiu Jitsu. That’s also covered.
The Fabler Blog talks to Jesse Jacobs, recent winner of the Gene Day Award for Canadian Self-Publishing for his minicomic, Blue Winter, Shapes in the Snow.
An independent self-publisher in the truest sense of the term, Jesse has also gained some recognition for his comic strip One Million Mouths, which up until a few mouths ago was a recurring feature in Halifax newspaper the Coast.
Jesse talks about winning the award, drawing Richie Rich as a kid, and shares some details about his latest as-of-yet-unnamed minicomic.
Third in a series of personal observations made about the Canadian Comic Industry. This one applies more broadly than the previous two.
Links galore to helpful comic-related websites! Does this mean the trilogy of posts is complete? Let’s just say it’s as complete as Star Wars episodes IV through VI.
Simon Roy made a comic about a human operated robot body involved in a Lunar terrorist plot in the distant future in Frankfurt, Germany.
That comic is Jan’s Atomic Body, and this article features Roy and some of the crazy that goes on in his head.
The Fabler interviews Jordyn Bochon, former Vancouverite artist turned Montreal resident.
Jordyn dishes on her experience self-publishing comics, the inspiration behind her recurring characters, and generally provides insightfully witty dialogue. (Also, this is the one and only time I will ever use the word “dishes” in this context.)
The Fabler Blog interviews Kate Beaton, the witty and extremely historically well-versed creator of Hark! A Vagrant.
Read! As she reveals some of her own favorite webcomics… Be amazed! As she delves into her own comic influences… Laugh! At the early jokes Kate made about her grade six teacher… Cry! At how mean kids can be. (But still laugh.)
The Fabler interviews Jason Turner, who is perhaps most well known for the online-comic-turned-graphic-novel True Loves (which he co-authored with his wife, Manien Bothma).
Jason had some interesting insights to share about his inspiration, why True Loves had to be set in Vancouver, and whether or not he would abandon printed versions of his comics altogether in the foreseeable future.
Ch-ch-check it out.
