The Joe Shuster Awards are presented annually to talented comic artists and writers from the Northern Wastes we affectionately refer to as ‘Canada’. Named after some artist guy who co-created a superhero or something, they celebrate outstanding achievements by Canadians in the fields of comic books, graphic novels, and webcomics. As of yesterday, the official nominees for the 2011 Shuster Awards have been published online at the Joe Shuster Awards home page. Take a gander for yourself if you’d like, but I’ll break it down for you anyway.

A short update as we drift into the end of November. Highlighting a couple of new Fabler submissions, plus some news related to Jim Zubkavich’s Skullkickers, Sarah Leavitt’s Tangles, and a new perspective on the state of digital comics.

The premise? Two un-named mercenaries stir up some major trouble in a ’sassy’ fantasy setting. The Fabler caught up with Jim to chat about Skullkickers as well as a decade of UDON.
I thought I would pop on here and peek my face briefly. Some of you loyal fans to our new burgeoning site are probably so enthralled with our talented journalist Kevin DV that you had forgotten I was around. Fret not, as I’ve been hard at work in the background ironing out kinks, and working [...]
