Monday Morning Links
:: Posted by Bryan @ 11/27/2006 07:26:00 AM 
Comics-related links from here and there:
1. Scott Chantler is profiled in the Toronto Star about his Northwest Passage series and has a few words to say about the evolution of the graphic novel:
"There's a real movement within the comics medium into that sort of middle ground, between corporate superhero comics and the independent artsy comics that veer toward mopey autobiographies," says Chantler. "That whole middle ground has been largely unexplored. The rise of the graphic novel format in the last couple of years has created an opportunity for people like myself and these others to stake out that middle ground."
Chantler was scheduled to be at the Triple Threat event in Toronto last night. The Star hypes the event and ABC news has a piece on female manga fans that quotes Svetlana Chmakova.
2. Expozine
In addition to Jack Ruttan's slide show that Max linked to yesterday:
-Comics and Collectibles has a few photos
-Manga pornographer and Miss Dynamite artist Sirkowski has a great dark and blurry YouTube video over at Eva's Blog of Terror
-D+Q has Gabrielle Bell in rehearsal
-Denyse Juncot has a few comments about new discoveries from the show
-BDQuebec forums have a link to a Flickr set and a brief show/buying report
3. Aislin provides some nice full-colour illos for Mordecai Richler Was Here.
4. Robin Crossman
The Victoria BC Victoria news profiles local cartoonist Robin Crossman who has a show on at a local coffee house. Crossman has worked in animation and for Sesame Street and is currently working on a Gary-Larson-style strip, apparently.
5. BlogTO pimps 3rd Quadrant Comics in Toronto
