We noted this event awhile ago, but Chris Butcher has more details about the graphic novel component of Toronto's Luminato Festival, featuring underground legend Spain Rodriguez as part of a "Political Graphic Novel" panel hosted by Peter Birkemoe. Spain has just published a biography of Che Guevera.
Speaking of comics events, the comic component of the Salon du livre de l'Outaouais (coming up on Feb. 28) has been posted over at the BDQ forums. The event features a host of Quebec cartoonists.
