All the world’s a page (of sequential art) to Andy Belanger, Conor McCreery, and Anthony Del Col, creators of the runaway hit comic series Kill Shakespeare.
Kill Shakespeare is a twelve-issue comic book series published by IDW which follows the conceit that Shakespeare’s characters all exist in the same universe, and further to that, they are aware of the Bard and his ability to alter their stories.
Several weeks back, I was fortunate enough to catch up with Anthony, Conor, and Andy at the 2011 Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo.
Calgary, AB – July 18, 2010
A group of Alberta artists and comic book illustrators are releasing “The Artist Block Party, Vol. 1 Illustrated Classics” as part of a fund raising effort for the Alberta Literacy Foundation and the Eugene Ouchi Scholarship Fund. The limited edition book is a collection of artistic renditions of classic stories [...]
The Anthology Project is an effort to showcase the diverse talent pool belonging to a group of friends and collaborators across the country. They put out… yes, an Anthology!- collecting 15 extremely well illustrated stories from the book’s contributors (who mostly consist of graduates from Alberta College of Art and Design and Sheridan College). The Fabler Blog caught up with Nick Thornborrow, co-editor and one of the contributors, to talk about the project.

Ryan Sohmer writes the hugely popular webcomics Least I Could Do and Looking For Group. I caught up with Ryan (who seemed to be deathly ill) at the Calgary Comic Expo and chatted about the comics, working with artist Lar deSouza, and also a couple of major life developments he’s recently experienced.
