This week we chat with Ben Steeves, artist on Our Time in Eden – an ongoing online graphic novel written by Gibson Twist, who we profiled on the site last month.
Steeves is also the author and artist of Zom-Ben, a webcomic featuring the adventures of a comic-illustrator-turned-zombie-superhero. We chat about early 90’s comic book trading cards, innocence lost, and the walking dead. Which sounds suspiciously like my 14th birthday.
Hordak, Baloo the Bear, Judas Priest, and Snow Leopards: What do these things all have in common?
A: They are all topics of conversation when I interview Kelly Tindall, the Montreal-based artist responsible for all of those nifty backup stories in the Image Comics title Proof.
A brief update, concerning Fabler interviews as well as (unrelated) the upcoming Convention season.
Few animals were harmed in the making of this post.
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.
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.
The Fabler Blog catches up with Joey Comeau, writer and co-creator of the popular photo-based webcomic A Softer World. Joey has just returned from a tour to promote Overqualified, his latest book.
Here he talks about keeping A Softer World fresh, the fact versus fiction content of Overqualified, and a couple of his upcoming projects. All this… and more! Yeah!
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.
