Hello Everyone. For the past 4 years, the Comic Book Bin has published a Web magazine about comics. I believe it is the largest and most visited Canadian site, until proven wrong. Currently only 5% of our audience is Canadian but that 5% is dear to me for obvious reasons.

Although we have interviewed many Canadian creators over the years, we still don't have a specific Canadian section about comics. We don't get many invitations to Canadian comic book events and conventions. Well we won't accept that anymore.

We will soon be adding a Canadian section to our Comics Columns similar the our existing Manga and Euro sections. We invite all Canadian creators and publishers to send us review material, news items and suggestions. We also welcome any volunteer who would like to help us develop this Canuck section. I want Canadians to feel wlecome at the Comic Book Bin.

Some background info. Yes, we cover major publishers and super heroes and that won't change, and won't apologize for that. But we also cover a lot of comics (I don't like the word small press, alternative or independent - it's diminishing and in opposition to something else). We even cover comics from the Middle East.

Truth be told, only two of us at the Bin are Canadians... I'm Canadian, live in Montreal and created the Bin. Canadians have a genuine unique vision to offer but are often lumped into American or European products. We also recognize that there are many sites covering Canadian books, like Sequential or Bedeka. They occupy specific niches and do great work. We're not looking to compete with any of them. We're just another place where you can promote your books and reach your audience.

Don't be shy. Our full address is below, where you can send any material our way. As soon as there's a critical mass of material, I'll lauch the section. However, if there is no initial and continued support for this gesture, we will not build this section.
