Toronto Comic Arts Festival

Toronto Comic Arts Festival


Zombies Calling by Faith Erin HicksI always love checking this out (have been to all three previous TCAFs) and judging by the crowds of people pouring over comics and comic-related merchandise at the Toronto Reference Library today the Toronto Comic Arts Festival has surely gained enough popularity to make the jump to being held every year rather than biennially.

It's a fantastic free event that anyone interested in the diversity of comics should think about dropping into. There are plenty of signings, panels and workshops scheduled for tomorrow too but this afternoon I was lucky to be able to listen to comics guru Scott McCloud talk about the medium for an hour and a half. I also picked up a copy of Faith Erin Hicks' graphic novel Zombies Calling, some mini comics by Diana Tamblyn (I love everything I've read by her in the past and am happy to hear she's working on a full length graphic novel) and True Loves & True Loves 2 by Jason Turner & Manien Botma. So all in all, a perfect way to spend a rainy Saturday!
