This week we chat with Ben Steeves, artist on Our Time in Eden – an ongoing online graphic novel written by Gibson Twist, who we profiled on the site last month.
Steeves is also the author and artist of Zom-Ben, a webcomic featuring the adventures of a comic-illustrator-turned-zombie-superhero. We chat about early 90’s comic book trading cards, innocence lost, and the walking dead. Which sounds suspiciously like my 14th birthday.
Gibson Twist is an eloquent fellow who writes comic books for online distribution. Sometimes, as with Pictures of You, he also illustrates them.
You should probably get to know Gibson a bit better. Luckily for you, this happens to be a post profiling him. What chance! What fortune! What stroke of fate!… etc.
Really though, Gibson is a pretty darn rad artist/writer, and you would be remiss not to check out his work.
Another featured Fabler! New Zealander Andrew Johnson chatted with the Fabler about his work in comics, with a specific focus on his web-based comic about a future dystopia, Kingdom.
Kevin D interviews Alison Acton, creator of the fabulously perverse (yet still, at times, oddly touching) webcomic Bear Nuts.
Every possible topic under the moon is covered, except for topics that aren’t about Bear Nuts, Alison’s own Dooomcat Studios, her manga illustration on The Faerie Path, and motherhood. Oh, and Jiu Jitsu. That’s also covered.
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.
Hi Everyone! It’s me again. I’d like to take a few minutes to give everyone an update on what’s in store for our little comics community. As I’ve iterated a few times in my previous blog posts, we are working on building more than a web comics social portal. So I’m here to let you [...]
The inauguration of comics to the digital world has been a slow, staggered process. I choose to examine it with similes involving rats and Super-Man.
The Fabler Blog catches up with Joey Comeau, writer and co-creator of the popular photo-based webcomic A Softer World. Joey has just returned from a tour to promote Overqualified, his latest book.
Here he talks about keeping A Softer World fresh, the fact versus fiction content of Overqualified, and a couple of his upcoming projects. All this… and more! Yeah!
Third in a series of personal observations made about the Canadian Comic Industry. This one applies more broadly than the previous two.
Links galore to helpful comic-related websites! Does this mean the trilogy of posts is complete? Let’s just say it’s as complete as Star Wars episodes IV through VI.
The Fabler interviews Ryan North, creator of RSSpect, Oh No Robot, and Project Wonderful. Oh, and also Dinosaur Comics. (In order of what he is least famous for to what he is most famous for.)
Ryan North is a rad fellow, and has some pretty darn interesting things to say about web cartooning. But don’t just take my word for it! See for yourself.
