Hugo and Harry Kremer Awards, The End of New Reliable and a Milestone for Action Comics

April 27, 2011 – 6:30 am

Oh hey guys, thanks for dropping by the Fabler. We hope you enjoyed the last month or so worth of comic creator profiles and interviews, and this week we’re coming at you with a more news-y post.

Coming atcha. Coming at-cha. Yeaahhh.

There are a few cool things worthy of note in this week’s comics round-ups found around the web, but before I get to those, I wanted to mention how unbelievably rad it is that Adriana Blake (of the webcomic Fall On Me) took the time to translate my entire interview with her into Spanish!

The Fabler Blog Presents: Canadian Comic Holiday Shopping Ideas

December 1, 2009 – 11:11 pm

This post is for those who, like me, leave all to most of their holiday shopping until December. We at the Fabler relate to your last-minute shopping stresses, and, in an attempt to make your life easier, have come up with some suggestions for gift ideas for comic fans.

Really, these are all great gift ideas for anyone, regardless of how ‘into’ comics they are already. It should be noted that this x-mas shopping list, like much of the rest of the Fabler Blog, has a distinct emphasis on Canuck content.

Profiling Simon Roy of Jan's Atomic Heart

October 14, 2009 – 4:55 am

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.

Artist Interview: Jason Turner of True Loves

September 9, 2009 – 6:37 am

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.
