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 was present and accounted for at this year’s Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, which took place April 24th/25th.
We met a lot of nifty people, chatted with some interesting creative talent, and were blown away by this year’s costumed con-goers. Click the above link for a detailed retrospective on the Con.

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.

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.)

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.
