Comics in literary and arts magazines

:: Posted by max @ 7/24/2003 02:07:00 PM
A lot of literary and arts magazine are embracing comix and comics art these days, both critically and on their own pages. Over the next little while for my own purposes I’m going to be digging around to bring a few suspects to light. To start I’d like to point out local mags Maisonneuve & Matrix Magazine and Vancouver’s Geist



Maisonneuve is the new kid, only 4 issues old so far. They describe themselves as “a high-end general-interest magazine similar to The New Yorker & Harper's”. Published quarterly in English out of Montreal the publication features a lot of illustration and is officially open to cartoons in it’s submission policies. So far the mag has been an interesting & entertaining if not completely consistent read.



Matrix Magazine has been published irregularly in Montréal since 1975 and has had the work of many many Montréal artists, writers poets, photographers and BS artists grace it’s pages. Being a big grab bag of art and ideas it’s usually an interesting publication but also a bit hard to find. They are very open to illustration and comics and often have a theme or themed section. The last one was Public Domain, A special section edited by Andy Brown & Billy Mavreas. Their submission page is here.



Geist magazine is a quarterly featuring the best in Canadian culture and ideas - "The Geist Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 1990 to organize and encourage cultural activities that bring the work of Canadian writers and artists to public attention, explore the lines between fiction and non-fiction, and present new views of the connective tissues of this place Canada". Geist embraces Comix and includes them in its content. You can read a few of them online at their site here , and the submission guidelines are here.
