Joe Shuster Awards Date Announced
:: Posted by Bryan @ 2/04/2008 12:01:00 AM Kevin Boyd has news about the 2008 Shuster Awards at his blog. Since Boyd, one of the big organizers of the Awards, split with previous host Paradise con last summer, the new location of the event has been up in the air for awhile. The new location is the Toronto Public Library's Lillian H. Smith branch, 239 College Street, and the show goes on Saturday, June 14th. The date coincides with the 70th anniversary of the publication of Action Comics #1, featuring the first published Superman story illustrated by Canadian ex-pat Joe Shuster.
The Awards are taking on a different format this year as well, with a jury taking responsibility for most of the prizes and a fan-vote for favourite artists. As well, the day-long event will include a few panels/symposiums/workshops, including Superman's 70th Anniversary, Joe Shuster Award Nominees, Canadian Comic Book History, How to Create Comics, etc.Labels: awards, blogosphere, events, Ontario, Toronto, U.S. superhero franchises
