Just another month in the high stakes world of comic books and the people that love them.
There are some genuinely interesting items making headlines on the sequential front this month, and I would be remiss if I didn’t touch on a few of them here. From professional perspectives on a call to boycott one of the two major publishers (hint: not DC) to the wildly successful endeavours of a group of female artists and writers to kickstart their own new anthology, and finally to the birth of a new Canadian Comic Festival.

Sarah Leavitt, a Vancouver-based author, recently published a graphic memoir called Tangles: A Story About Alzheimer’s, My Mother And Me. The memoir, which relates the journey of Sarah and her family after her Mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, is a powerful read that has already earned her strong critical praise – as well as a shortlist for the Writers’ Trust Non-Fiction Prize.
I caught up with Sarah at as she passed through town for a local launch of her book.

Now that the Doug Wright Awards and the Joe Shuster Awards have announced their 2010 finalists/nominees, I figure it’d probably be in everyone’s best interests for the Fabler Blog to go over some of the top contenders this year.
Hey, if something so vapid as the annual Academy Awards can have legions of bloggers reviewing their picks for the ceremonies, Canadian comic creators certainly deserve at least a little of the same.
