It’s been a big year for The Anthology Project.
Volume One of their comic book collection came out just over a year ago, and it was met with some of the highest praise I’ve seen for an anthology in a long while. In fact, it even earned them an Eisner nomination. Riding on this praise for Volume 1, Nick Thornborrow and co-editors Joy Ang and Sam Bradley set their sights on making a second Volume. While their first release was, at its core, a collaboration between a group of acquaintances and friends, Volume 2 would expand their circle of collaborators to include artists they follow and admire.

In keeping with tradition, we’re ringing in the new year by looking at some of the stuff that’s impacted our little corner of the interweb over the past twelve months. This includes some of the news bits the Fabler Blog has reported on, some of the changes and landmarks the main site has experienced, and of course, a Coles Notes list of the interviewees we’ve featured on the site throughout 2010.

The Anthology Project is an effort to showcase the diverse talent pool belonging to a group of friends and collaborators across the country. They put out… yes, an Anthology!- collecting 15 extremely well illustrated stories from the book’s contributors (who mostly consist of graduates from Alberta College of Art and Design and Sheridan College). The Fabler Blog caught up with Nick Thornborrow, co-editor and one of the contributors, to talk about the project.
