We are here, it is upon us: the last interview of 2010.
For the subject of this interview, we chose an extremely talented, Montreal-based comic artist who has previously had an established degree of familiarity with The Fabler. The first 16 pages of his comic collaboration with John O’Brien, ‘The Rise and Fall of it All’ is currently among the roster of showcased comics on the main site.
I am speaking, of course, of Salgood Sam.
The premise of the action-adventure ‘buddy comedy’ is a simple one: take two wildly different personalities that would otherwise not get along, and put them in a situation where the plot forces them to. Hijinks, hilarity, and explosions ensue.
The 3 Second Rule, a webcomic by Jason Loo and Arthur Dela Cruz, is not your typical buddy comedy.
This week The Fabler Blog chats up Eric Vedder, creator of the Transmission X webcomic Aardehn and penciler for Udon Comics.
Eric aka Ved! aka The World’s Greatest Detective was more than willing to divulge critical info about his experience working on Darkstalkers, his influences with the webcomic Aardehn, and how posting an update to his webcomic predominantly featuring probing tentacles made him uneasy (also the reasoning behind why he posted it anyway).
Professional illustrator and comic artist Michael Cho talks about his unique illustrative style, his hiatus from Papercut, and what it’s like to be a new Dad.
He also shares his thoughts on why Canadian comic artists tend to flock to social media, and anecdotally contemplates a stereotypical relationship between the superhero guy and the indie guy.
Just read it already. You know you want to.
First in a series of personal observations made about the Canadian Comic Industry.
Community: it’s a word, and it begins with C. It also ends with Y. But just how important is it to YOU?
