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!

Fabler Blog Update for the week of February 16th

February 16, 2011 – 6:30 am

Hey Fabler friends, guess what’s on the menu for this post?

If you guessed an entree of more savoury Formspring goodness, pat yourself on the back, grab some utensils, and pull up a chair.

…

Oh, but I kid. Please, contain your raucous laughter so we can move on to topics of substance. So this week I thought we’d take a look at some of the content our fabulous users have updated to The Fabler. If the term fabulous is too effeminate or grandiose for some, you could substitute ‘creatively talented but rough around the edges’. Sort of like Jeff Bridges.

The Fabler Blog Looks at the 2010 Joe Shuster Award Nominees

March 24, 2010 – 12:09 pm

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.

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.
