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.
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.
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.
In a lull between posts, the Fabler Blog recaps the action from its second hundred days of life and finds some quality time to share with you, our readers. EXCITEMENT, ACTION, AND SUSPENSE ABOUND.
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.
