Robin Thompson loves comics. I talked to him about what got him started teaching sequential art, how he came to work on the dark/supernatural comic Champions of Hell, and what an aspiring comic artist should know about the self-publishing industry.
Hi Everyone,
It’s me again. Now that the aftermath of the con is over and we’ve had a few moments to breath I wanted give special thanks to you all once again for showing great interest in The Fabler. We’ve been working very hard in the background ensuring that the site that we create is most [...]
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.
Eben Burgoon, the (some might say mythical) writer of Eben07 chatted with the Fabler about the past, present, and future of his covert ops ‘cleaning’ agent.
Eben is a contributor to the Fabler.com, and you could also check out samples on his work (featuring Dan Bethel’s art) over on the main site proper.
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.
Indy Comic Book Week is an event taking place the last week of December. Since Diamond Comics has announced they won’t be distributing any new titles the week of Dec 30th, a call to arms has gone out to Indy creators to supply content to line the new release shelves of their local comic shops for that week.
We talked to Jake Ekiss, one of the founders of the event, about his thoughts on Indy Comic Book Week.
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.)
