Tuesday, February 24, 2009 Scanning the Magazine Racks  The don't just write about comics on the internet, y'know.Some recent Canadian content from the few remaining print magazines (the ones made of paper). 1. The latest (and last) issue of upstart general interest comic zine Comic Foundry has a cover feature on Canada's Greatest Living Cartoonist of The Month, Bryan Lee O'Malley. As well, the issue devotes 2 pages to a Kate Beaton interview and Jillian Tamaki participates in one of those lame roundtable panel discussions where the participants have no contact with each other. The issue also features a best of 2008 list, tons of reviews, and more interviews with superhero creators and art comics nerds.  2. The latest issue of CNQ (Canadian Notes and Queries) is a wonderful anniversary issue (75 issues/40 years) that looks ahead another quarter century to 2034 to see what the cultural landscape of Canada may look like. Smart writers from various fields write short essays on the future of books, movies, newspapers, science fiction, poetry, cities, and even Canada itself. And graphic novels are not left out. Cartoonist-poet Sherwin Tjia contributes a great 2-page strip that artfully and obliquely takes on a tour of the graphic novel world of the future (hint: Bernie Mireault doesn't live in Canada anymore). 3. Broken Pencil #42 features a great history of tabloid newspapers in Canada, lots of minicomics reviews, and the great regular strip by Jason Turner where Turner draws comics about all the comics and zines he buys.Labels: publishing, zines - Stumble It! - Leave a comment!| 0comments - - we honor OpenID -
Friday, January 23, 2009 R.I.P. Mensuhell  Mensuhell is no more. I mentioned this when it was first announced last year, and again in the year-end wrap up, but I neglected to mention the actual appearance of the final issue. The long-running fanzine went out with a bang with issue #109 in December with a "Sergeant Pepper's"-style cover by cartoonist Sirkowski featuring many of the characters and cartooning styles that had appeared in the zine during its long run. Mensuhell was basically the best comics anthology published on a regular (monthly! for 6 years!) basis in Canada, responsible for introducing many young talents from the Quebec comics scene, as well as providing a home and community for more established cartoonists and fans. It was also a source of learned history about BDQ (bandes dessinees from Quebec). The few issues I have in my possession reveal that the zine was a veritable who's who of the times and of cartooning talent. Publisher Francis Hervieux should be congratulated for his long effort. As well, congratulations are in order for the many contributors. Good luck and bon voyage. There is a long discussion of the final issue at the BDQ forum (google translation).

Monday, November 10, 2008 Sean Ward, man of a million hats, is getting back into the comics thing  Counter to the popular notion that you have to be a neurotic introvert to play with funny books, Sean Ward proves you can be a sparkling super geek with good taste in cloths.Makes me all fuzzy inside! Go Sean go! For a while the Media thing has been keeping him busy but seems he's been hearing the call of his markers! He's working on some new characters and stuff; check it out, and let a little enthusiasm rub off on you. Also he posted links to these cool videos. One is a short City tv interview, and the other is a short profile on Sean and how he does his 'thang'. Laugh if you will but the guy has parlayed all this into late night tv appearances, so.....

Thursday, July 24, 2008 MensuHell To End Monthly Publication  The long-running Quebec comics fanzine MensuHell will cease publication on a monthly basis by the end of 2008, according to a post on the BDQ forums (see translated version here). According to MensuHell editor/publisher Francis Hervieux, "the MesnuHell as you know it is coming to an end." The zine has showcased a wide array of Quebec comics talent since beginning in 1995. The zine was originally titled Requin Roll Presente but changed to MensuHell and more regular publication in 2000. Each month the zine presents a combination of serialized comics, historical articles, gags, and short stories, ranging from the work of first-timers to well-established pros and writers about comics.

Free admission! This incredible event brings together over 250 creators of all kinds of printed matter - from books to zines to visual art and comics - in both English and French. In the past six years, Expozine has become one of North America's largest small press fairs, attracting thousands of visitors as well as exhibitors from as far afield as Chicago, Toronto, Ottawa, and Quebec City! It is one of the city's cultural success stories, and due to its ever-increasing growth, this year's edition will be expanded to two days. Expozine brings together a multitude of publications and printed works that are often difficult to find in the first place, much less altogether in the same room! The result is a rare opportunity to peruse the work of hundreds of young and emerging authors, publishers and artists, and to see what the winners of last year's Expozine Alternative Press Awards are up to. Not to be missed! To reserve a table at Expozine, fill out the registration form here before November 12, 2007, or mail the printed form to Archive Montreal, box 1232, Place d'Armes, Montreal Que. H2Y 3K2. We're also looking for sponsors!!! For information on becoming a sponsor, contact us at expozine@archivemontreal.org, or call 514-282-0146.

Thursday, September 06, 2007 Thursday Links  News concerning comics in Canada: 1. Von Allan's The Road to God Knows... is reviewed by Leigh Dragoon at Sequential Tart. 2. Satrapi and Saul Steinberg at Ottawa Animation festival: Persepolis, based on the graphic novel by France's Marjane Satrapi, and a retrospective devoted to U.S. cartoonist Saul Steinberg are two of the featured comics-related events at the Ottawa International Animation Festival: An exclusive program dedicated to animation influenced by the New Yorker Magazine illustrator Saul Steinberg. Best known for his "View of the World from 9th Avenue,". Steinberg's elevated self-consciousness, reduced design to its essentials; freely melded the naive with the modern, and more than any other 20 century artist obliterated the wall between media and art. Animators as varied as Stefan Schabenbeck, Candy Kugel, Mo Williams and the "modernistic" designs from UPA and Zagreb owe much to Steinberg. The influence goes beyond the surface to include an abstract view of space, identity, and language. Curated by New York animator George Griffin. 3. Lynn Johnston's For Better of For Worse began it's new format Sept. 3 with a rerun some old strips framed by a journey through an old photo album. The strip is online here. 4. Toronto comics blogger and Beguiling employee is visiting Japan and already has a selection of manga retailing-related photos online. 5. Mike Aragona is a writer and the man responsible for keeping alive the long-running Canadian APA/zine Comicopia. He is currently going through some tough times concerning the health of his youngest child, as you will see from the updates from his livejournal page. If you know Mike or can identify with his situation, I'm sure his family would appreciate a note of encouragement or support.

Tuesday, January 23, 2007 TM Maple  T.M. Maple was one of the most widely published comic book letter writers of the 1980s. His real name was Jim Burke and he was, of course, from Canada ("The Mad Maple" was his official name). He also published his own fanzines and contributed to many others: his column "The Canuck Stops Here" was a regular feature of Gene Kehoe's seminal It's a Fanzine. Sadly, T.M. died in 1994 of a heart attack. Over at The Comics Journal Message Board, older readers and fans share memories of him, including a comic strip. --- Other TM Maple links Selection of Letters T.M. Maple on Superman Is the Simpsons' "Comic Book Guy" based on T.M.? The Fallcon in St. Paul, Minnesota holds all of its guest panel presentations in the "TM Maple Edutorium"!
