This Weekend: Word on the Street
:: Posted by Bryan @ 9/28/2007 04:00:00 AM This Sunday, September 30th, at the Word on the Street literary festival, a sort of mini comics festival is taking place. Last weekend, the Halifax event hosted J. Torres, Mike Lobel, Scott Chantler, Darwyn Cooke & Steven McNiven. This week, both Vancouver and Toronto host comics-themed events.
1. In Vancouver, the Word Under the Street event is a zine and comics fair. The show has been relocated to the front of the Canada Post Main Post Office building, at the corner of Homer and Georgia Streets, across the street from Library Square.
2. In Toronto, The Comics and Graphic Novels Tent features appearances by Chris Butcher, Peter Birkemoe, Chip Zdarsky, Kagan McLeod, Mark Asquith, Eric Kim, Svetlana Chmakova, Noel Tuazon, Jim Munroe, Chester Brown, Ray Fawkes, Willow Dawson, Csott Chantler, Jeff Lemire, Zach Worton, Ty Templeton, Jim Zubkavich, Ryan North, John Martz, and Nadine Lessio. Also on the agenda, the Brad and Bryan Show, wherein "comics historians" Brad MacKay and Bryan Munn (ahem) offer up 30 minutes of Canadian Comics History in a chatty, informal session, hopefully abetted by some pretty pictures.
The event takes place at Queens Park.Labels: events
