:: Posted by Bryan @ 11/12/2007 11:40:00 AM


Links from far and wide:

1. Andy Brast, owner of Carry On Comics in Waterloo, Ontario, is one of the local reatilers profiled in this K-W Record feature about the strong loonie and its effect on prices. Despite losing out on the gap between U.S. and Canadian comics cover prices due to the ordering system for comics, Brast is having a record year, apparently.

2. Pascal Blanchet's White Rapids is reviewed in the Walrus. Reviewer Jared Bland says that the book is "a beautiful and intelligent account of the rise and fall of a small Quebec town."

3. The Globe and Mail's Susan Perrin suffers from some gender confusion in reviewing a kids book by the recently deceased Alootook Ipellie.

4. Toronto's Chris Butcher is one of several comics bloggers crying foul over the burgeoning fortunes of U.S. comics non-publisher Platinum Studios, in this New York Times magazine article.

5. Cartoonist and animator Karine Charlebois is interviewed by Jennifer Contino for Comicon.com. (via BDQ)

6. New Canadian Books from the U.S.: Comicopia publisher and blogger Mike Aragona has just published his first novel, The Antibodies: Heaven Can Wait; Blake Bell's book about reclusive U.S. cartoonist and Spider-Man creator Steve Ditko, Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko, is finally almost ready to appear; Scott Pilgrim 4: Scott Pilgrim Gets it Together, by Bryan Lee O'Malley, is out this week; Zombies Calling, the first graphic novel by Faith Erin Hicks, is getting some nice buzz from the aforementioned Mr. Butcher and Mr. O'Malley.

7. Canadian Reviews of U.S. Books: the gigantic intellect of Jeet Heer wrestles with the New Schulz bio by David Michaelis.
