Comic Books, Jeet Heer and the New Canada  News Link Source: Imperial Oil Review Journalist Robert Fulford profiles Toronto comics scholar Jeet Heer for the house organ of Imperial Oil. Fulford, while generally clueless about comics and academia, does a succinct job of covering the biographical details and critical insights of Heer's life and work, making an attempt to place these in the context of a wider Canadian multiculturalism. "His life and career embody two big changes on the Canadian landscape in recent times. The first is the appearance of intellectuals from non-European countries as cultural leaders, people like Neil Bissoondath, a Trinidadian Canadian who has published muchadmired books and now teaches creative writing at Laval University in Quebec City, and Irshad Manji, who grew up in Richmond, B.C. (because Idi Amin expelled her family from Uganda), and has now become famous around the world as an analyst of her religion, Islam. The second change is the emergence of popular culture, including comics, as a subject studied by intellectuals."

UK commonwealth rights (excluding Canada) to Seth’s WIMBLEDON GREEN and IT’S A GOOD LIFE IF YOU DON’T WEAKEN have been granted to Dan Franklin of Jonathan Cape and UK commonwealth rights (excluding Canada) to Adrian Tomine’s SLEEPWALK, SUMMER BLONDE and the next untitled graphic novel (2007) to Angus Cargill of Faber & Faber. “Meeting with Samantha was fortuitous for D+Q, as we knew that our titles would do well in the UK,” said Chris Oliveros, President & Publisher–Drawn & Quarterly. “She immediately recognized the quality of our titles and their potential in other markets.” “I knew from the start that D+Q’s list would do very well but the reception at Frankfurt even exceeded my own expectations. If anything it’s a matter of just keeping up with the demand now, especially in Europe and Asia. These terrific UK deals are just the beginning.” Samantha Haywood. Tomine’s next graphic novel is currently being serialized in issues 9-11 of his comic book series OPTIC NERVE. The collection, which has yet to be titled, is slated for release in Fall 2007 will be published in North America by Drawn & Quarterly and distributed to the US book trade by Farrar, Straus & Giroux and in Canada by Raincoast Books.

Why Martin Lost  News Link Source: Edmonton Sun Does reading comic books make you a loser? Historically, comic books have been blamed for many things, ranging from juvenile delinquency to illiteracy. Less frequently, they have played important roles in election campaigns. For those looking for a simple explanation of the recent change of government federally, and the failure of Paul Martin to maintain his hold on power, Sequential presents the following quote from the campaign trail, published last week: There were ghosts of campaigns past as Paul Martin wooed voters at the Gardenia Restaurant, a Strathroy, Ont. diner that was also used as a whistle-stop by PMs Trudeau, Pearson and Diefenbaker during elections. Martin poured cups of coffee, joked that he wanted tips, and playfully picked up a kid's comic book and said, "This looks like some of the books I get to read in Ottawa." edmontonsun.com - Election - Martin's Magical Misery Tour above: Prime Minister Louis St Laurent reads to his grandchildren - Stumble It! - Leave a comment!| 0comments - - we honor OpenID -

Monday, January 23, 2006 Big Night in MontrealNews Link Source: Peggy Burns/D&Q Comics Jam and Keith Jones Launch Wednesday, January 25th is a big night in Montreal, with the launch of Keith Jones' Bacter-Area from D&Q and, at another venue, the regular Monthly Montreal Comics Jam. Here's the full Press release for the Keith Jones book launch: D+Q MONTREAL BOOK LAUNCH AT ZOOBIZARRE BACTER- AREA BY KEITH JONES “One of the rare, exquisite treats covering comics as an art form is when something pops up on your screen you’ve never seen before. Such is the case with the work of Vancouver artist Keith Jones, whose BACTER-AREA will help launch Drawn and Quarterly’s art book series upon its release. Jones’ book contains hints of oblique narratives but is mostly concerned with drawing, both tableaus supported by empty space and mind-bending depictions of community life crammed to the gills with animals, strangely shaped people, and decaying urban landscapes.” –THE COMICS REPORTER “New Montrealer Keith Jones launches a crazy cornucopia of signs and symbols...He's just put out a jewel of a comic.”–HOUR “Balancing the visual cacophony and chaos of Jones’s images, even the more contained ones, is a thoroughness and precision in his rendering of each element.”–MONTREAL MIRROR WHO & WHAT: Keith Jones launches B A C T E R -A R E A, with the found sounds of DJ Dumpster WHERE: MONTREAL, QC: Zoobizarre, 6388 St. Hubert (Metro Beaubien) www.z o o b i za r r e . o rg WH E N : Wednesday, January 25, 2006, 8:00 PM ABOUT KEITH JONES & BACT-AREA: Keith Jones once wrote, “People and Birds talk to each other and spend time doing it.” This is as reasonable a description as you’ll get for Keith’s dense, cartoon-y people/animal-scapes. Arms twist and flail and behinds slip to the front. Keith Jones started out drawing ant farms as a small child. Eventually he went on to make pictures of cars and people and aliens with multiple body platforms. Sometimes these drawings are placed in a linear relationship forming a story. Sometimes they are not. Now he makes all these things and more in his room daily. He lives in Canada. http://www.montrealmirror.com/2006/011906/visual_arts2.html http://hour.ca/books/books.aspx?iIDArticle=8104 The Monthly Montreal Comix Jam : Held on the last Wedesday of the month - Stumble It! - Leave a comment!| 0comments - - we honor OpenID -

Comic Sales in FranceNews Link Source: Actuabd While comics news outside of Canada is usually beyond Sequential's purview, this news from France is interesting enough to warrant inclusion, especially when read in contrast to reports about graphic novel sales in the U.S. direct market and this summary of the year in Quebec comics. According to the article below, Henri Pollet and Céline Fédou from GfK, the German market research institute, 2005 album sales were down over 2004, with the lion's share of sales going to long-established series. While the number of titles increased 11.6 %, actual sales declined 2.5%. Manga now makes up 30% of the French market and total sales are somewhere around 398 million Euros.

Edmonton Comic JamNews Link Source: Edmonton Journal "But is it art? I actually make the mistake of asking this question aloud. Comic book aficionados, it turns out, are sick of the question. The comic jammers launch into an earnest defence of comics, while taking a few shots at what others consider art -- welding hunks of metal together, for example. No one is more passionate about this than John Keane, an animator and illustrator who moved to Edmonton in the spring from Ireland. At the moment, he's doing the illustrations in a locally written comic book. "It sure the hell is art and it is very difficult," adds Keane, describing how the illustrator must create character and move the story forward within the confines of discrete narrative panels. "People think comics are really simple, but if you take the time to look at them, you see incredibly complex stories."

Mystery Man!  Comics scholar John Adcock presents a thorough article on the early career and comics of New Yorker magazine cartoonist Richard Taylor. Taylor's Mystery Men were a screw-ball sensation in the 1920s Toronto Telegram. Although Taylor later became associated with the world of U.S. magazine cartooning and eventually published a popular "How-to" guide on the craft, he was born in Canada and did work for Toronto publications including the communist press, a college humour magazine, and newspapers before emigrating.

Thursday, January 19, 2006 Superhero Stripper  News Link Source: hour.ca Leo Bachle's classic superhero Johnny Canuck gets the stage treatment in a new Montreal production, "Johnny Canuck and the Last Burlesque." According to Jodi Essery at the hour.ca, the Mainline Theatre is the site of this "what if..." story concerning Johnny's post World War II career as a burlesque star. The show is the creation of Jeremy Hechtman and Patrick Goddard and runs January 25-February 12. "I'm a big comics fan," admits Goddard, who recently returned from studying with renowned physical theatre teacher Philippe Gaulier to work on Last Burlesque. "I had this idea that we would take this character Johnny Canuck, and where did he go after his comic book was cancelled in 1947? I thought it would be really funny to end up in Montreal. And then as Jeremy and I started talking about him, and what would he do, who would he talk to, and who were these other characters, the show just kept expanding and expanding and expanding, until now, we've got nine actors and a four-piece band, and this huge set, and..." "We didn't get our whole wish list," interrupts Hechtman. "We still didn't get our girl in a big champagne glass. We couldn't find one."

Wednesday, January 18, 2006 More on Seth's New BookSequential Exclusive: Seth Interview  When Seth spilled the beans about his latest comics-related project in an interview last week, we just had to hear more. The book, an insert into the next issue of Todd Hignite's Comic Art, is called 40 Cartoon Books of Interest. According to the interview, the book is to include a 10-page comic strip introduction by Seth, followed by an 80-page peek into his eclectic comics library. Recently, Sequential buttonholed the cartoonist and coaxed some additional details out of him. Sequential: What is the plan for the format of the book (Hardbound, saddle-stiched, colour, metallic inks)? Seth: It is a tiny little book (just 4" X 5") squarebound and shrinkwrapped into the next issue of COMIC ART. Yes--there are potentially some metallic inks on the cover (is it that sadly obvious that I must use metallic inks on everything I do to try and drum up some notice??). I hope it will feel a little bit like a guide book.  Sequential: Any other cartoonists you'd like to mention that are included? You mentioned Punch's Edward Reed and his Prehistoric cartoons. Weren't you also thinking of the Berenstains? Seth: Yes--I was referring to the Berenstains (who I like a great deal--dumb though they may be). I don't want to mention too many cartoonists. Suffice to say that it is an eccentric mix of artists spanning a Hundred and fifty-year range. My tastes are very "catholic" and so it is a real mix. Sequential: Is the cartoon intro "sketchbook style" (the style you used in Wimbledon Green)? Seth: The reproduction of the strips is small so it is deliberately a bit simple in approach--but pretty tight. Probably closer to my usual stuff than my sketchbook work. It certainly was a project that I enjoyed working on. I almost wish I could do another one about the exact same topic. I really like talking about other cartoonist's work. Less so my own.

Tuesday, January 17, 2006 Mécanique Générale to Republish "The Cage"Mécanique Générale to Republish "The Cage": An Interview with Jimmy Beaulieu by Bryan Munn 2006 is the 5th anniversary of Mécanique Générale, the tiny perfect French-language comics publisher run by Montreal cartoonist Jimmy Beaulieu. Over the last few years, MG has built up a substantial catalogue of critically praised albums and anthologies. In honour of this landmark anniversary, Beaulieu's celebration is to be a year-long affair: "This is our fifth year of activity and we plan to celebrate it by releasing 12 books in 2006 (one per month)," says Beaulieu. According to Beaulieu, who is scheduled to be at the Angouleme festival in France for a panel discussion with Jeffrey Brown, his biggest satisfaction in reaching the 5-year point is "Having published very important books like Luc Giard's Le pont du havre and Benoît Joly's Pour une personne and Démons d'après-midi. Having built a coherent collection." And what does he hope to accomplish as a publisher in the next five years? "Release the best books ever. Well hey, you said 'hope' !" It shouldn't be a problem, as Beaulieu is very enthusiastic about the state of cartooning in Quebec: "Well, you'd have to be blind not to see a boom going on. There's never been that kind of critical mass of good books available. You can spend a week just reading good comics from Quebec and Canada.

Mécanique Générale to Republish "The Cage"Mécanique Générale to Republish "The Cage": An Interview with Jimmy Beaulieu by Bryan Munn 2006 is the 5th anniversary of Mécanique Générale, the tiny perfect French-language comics publisher run by Montreal cartoonist Jimmy Beaulieu. Over the last few years, MG has built up a substantial catalogue of critically praised albums and anthologies. In honour of this landmark anniversary, Beaulieu's celebration is to be a year-long affair: "This is our fifth year of activity and we plan to celebrate it by releasing 12 books in 2006 (one per month)," says Beaulieu. According to Beaulieu, who is scheduled to be at the Angouleme festival in France for a panel discussion with Jeffrey Brown, his biggest satisfaction in reaching the 5-year point is "Having published very important books like Luc Giard's Le pont du havre and Benoît Joly's Pour une personne and Démons d'après-midi. Having built a coherent collection." And what does he hope to accomplish as a publisher in the next five years? "Release the best books ever. Well hey, you said 'hope' !" It shouldn't be a problem, as Beaulieu is very enthusiastic about the state of cartooning in Quebec: "Well, you'd have to be blind not to see a boom going on. There's never been that kind of critical mass of good books available. You can spend a week just reading good comics from Quebec and Canada. Five years ago, you could spend two days at the most, and people would tell you about all these hidden treasures that ran out of print. Hopefully, we'll be able to reprint more and more of these."

Monday, January 16, 2006 A Comics Journalist Association?Comment  Reading this year end article about the "mangalisation" of comics in France written by Gilles Ratier, secretary general of the ACBD, I began to wonder about the author's organization. I've seen it mentioned a few times in reference to prizes at Angouleme but never read anything concrete about it. I wondered, Is it like the Foreign Press Association that gives out the Golden Globes? It turns out the ACBD, or Association des Critiques et journalistes de Bande Dessinée, has been around for a long time. In 2004 it celebrated its 20th anniversary and it has an on-again, off-again relationship with the organizations behind Angouleme, most recently (2005) separating itself from the festival by choosing to give out its award outside of the festival's aegis, on a separate date. Founded as a legal entity in 1984 and based in Paris, the Association is made up of over 60 members of the press in France who dedicate at least part of their time to reporting on comics for various radio, television, print and web sources. In one sense it seems like the ACBD is a trade organization, making it possible for editors and publishers to avail themselves of specific journalists. As well, the ACBD issues regular papers, including the annual report on comics in France (Michel Viau has written a similar report on comics in Quebec) that got me interested in the first place. But the main task of the organization is the annual award of the Critics Prize, or Grand Prix de la Critique Bandes Dessinées, which this past year went to Etiennne Davodeau. Based on a year-long proccess involving several comics festivals, the prize is a good predictor of other major French prizes for best album. The big news a few years ago was the exclusion of the ACBD from the prize-giving at Angouleme, as explained by Bill Kartoupolis and Bart Beaty, an action that it some ways seems to have put the organization on a stronger, more independant footing. Is such an organisation possible in Canada or the U.S.? On the outside, things don't look promising. By my estimate, there seem to be only about a dozen or two full-time staff writers and editors covering comics exclusively for any sort of media in North America (including the trade or fan press). Add to this journalists, critics, and cartoonists who write the occasional or semi-regular article or revue for a newspaper or paying magazine gig, and the growing number of academics writing on the subject, and you might have about 100 professionals writing on comics. More than the 68 listed by the ACBD in France, but not exactly a cohesive, fraternal group. Granted, when you factor in the hordes of serious amateurs, part-time bloggers, and other fan pundits, the numbers grow considerably. But the depth and quality of most comics journalism, especially the online variety, is easily called into question, most recently by the Comics Journal's Michael Dean in an informative survey. As well, and until comparatively recently (as these articles by Denis Lord and Jimmy Beaulieu attest), most mainstream comics journalism and criticism has been slapdash and run haphazardly, without a regular forum or editorial mandate (or even editorial understanding). The idea of a critic's prize is contrary to most North American awards as well, which tend to be either based on large popular votes that for the most part focus on the various production-line divisions and categories associated with the traditional comic book market, or small, specific-focus and elitist juried prizes. The ACBD prize and annual reports demand more of a commitment (in terms of time, quality and finances) and a desire for professionalism from a large body of writers than anything currently possible on this continent.

COMICS IN THE CLASSROOM Pt 2006News Link Source: Press Release/ComicBook Universe New Brunswick, Canada - Canadian elementary school teacher, Scott Tingley, has started a website designed to help fellow teachers and parents choose comics for both eager and reluctant readers K through 8. Tingley, a parent, teacher and a longtime fan of the comics medium, is an early years teacher in the New Brunswick (Canada) public school system and the creator of Comics in the Classroom ( www.comicsintheclassroom.net). His goal with Comics in the Classroom is to share the positive experience that he's found using comics to help in the learning process. "I am hoping that my knowledge of differentiated learning and my love of comics will help Comics in the Classroom visitors in the motivating and teaching of the children in your lives," said Tingley. Tingley's selections run the gamut from Bob McLeod's Superhero ABC to the older skewing Zoom Suit, aimed squarely at the PSP and X-Box 360 crowd. Along with these two, selections include Marvel Entertainment's Franklin Richards, Lions, Tigers and Bears by Mike Bullock and the perennial seller, Jeff Smith's Bone. These and other selections are currently featured on the CITC homepage. Some choices such as Superhero ABCs are simple. Others such as Lions, Tigers and Bears (an Image comic) or Zoom Suit may not be as obvious. Tingley explains, "The goal of the site is to get kids to read. Comics that have a film, television or video game look such as Lions, Tigers and Bears and Zoom Suit are great gateway books for reluctant readers." Tingley expects the site to grow at a rapid pace. "I may be new and small, but I am one of the few sites of this type," he said. "The response has been very strong, but we are always looking to recommend publications that we believe are a good fit. But space is filling up. Creators or publishers that would like their books reviewed should send review copies as early as possible." Tingley's next goal is to find a sponsor to help him spread the word. He plans to offer advertising space sometime during 2006. Parties interested in submitting review copies or sponsorship opportunities should contact Scott Tingley at comicsintheclassroom@gmail.com.

Friday, January 06, 2006 Best Political Cartoons of 2005?News Link Source: Brampton Guardian While the awards for best editorial cartoonist are not handed out until later in 2006, Krissie Rutherford of The Brampton Guardian offers up her vote: based on the number of cartoons he has in the annual Portfoolio book collection, the winner is Oakville's Steve Nease. "Steve Nease has 15 cartoons in Portfoolio 21, The Year's Best Canadian Editoral Cartoons-- that's the most of the 42 artists who cracked this year's edition. 'It's always an honour to be included in the annual best-of collection,' Nease said. 'It's a fairly competitive field and it's nice to be recognized with peers who I respect and admire.' The 50-year-old Oakville Beaver art director, who does the editorial cartoons for many of The Guardian's sister newspapers in the Metroland chain, is no stranger to Portfoolio-- he's had cartoons in every edition since 1989. 'I'd had as many as 12 before this year,' he said. 'To get 15 is a personal best, so I'm very pleased.'
