CANADIAN HEROES! @canadianheroes - Tumblr Blog

Launched! Launched like a ship into the briny sea, to sail above the crashing waves or sink beneath the sea forever.

Strangebeard, Volume 1: The Ghost Pirate’s Gift is going to be a wonderful little 128-page trade paperback of the first five chapters of my awesome pirate webcomic. I hope that you’ll fund it, and I hope that you’ll tell your friends about it… and most importantly, I hope you like it.

Here are the covers I whipped up for the printed versions of these two collaborative works between the exceedingly talented Peter Chiykowski (aka Rock Paper Cynic) and myself. which he sold recently at TCAF.

You can read the entirety of Last Words at his site! And if you want to get your hands on the full Finger Man, you can shimmy on over to Ink’d Well Comics and purchase the digital or physical version of Fearsome Fables II, a collection of family-friendly spooky comics. Proceeds go to charity!

Here is Silver Button, a comic by Megan and me (aka the team behind the fairy tale adventure Namesake). This comic was debuted at TCAF last week.

I’ve been wanting to a short comic inspired by Quebecois folktales for a while now, and as usual, Megan was more then happy to indulge me! So here is a modern version of a story I really liked as a kid, where the Devil tries to convince a girl to drop a blessed silver button to capture her soul.

If you enjoyed Silver Button, please check out our ongoing webcomic Namesake, or our previous short comic Knot.

Printed versions of Namesake and Knot are available in our store, as well as a printed version of Silver Button (order here). The printed version includes an English version of the original folktale.

The Doug Wright Awards is having a kickstarter for their 10th anniversary ceremony!!

To commemorate 10 years of celebrating Canadian comics artists, both of contemporary and legacy standing, the DWA’s have invited past winners and nominees to create original art based on Nipper, one of Doug Wright’s most beloved characters. If this campaign gets funded, there will be a 10th anniversary zine of all the contributions available for purchase at the awards!!

Among the creators who are contributing to the campaign and book: Seth, Chester Brown, Joe Ollman, Michael Cho, Pascal Girard, Michael DeForge, Diana Tamblyn, Dave Collier, Alex Fellows, John Martz, Ann Marie Fleming, Michael Comeau, Katherine Verhoven, Matthew Daley, Tin Can Forest, Chris Kuzma, Dakota McFadzean, Kate Leth, Eric Kim and me!!!

That’s my contribution at the top of this post :)

Inducted into this year’s Giants of the North, the Canadian Cartooning Hall of Fame is the World War II group of cartoonists referred to as the “Canadian Whites.”

The “Canadian Whites” were black-and-white comics produced between 1941 and 1946 that contained a host of original and iconic Canadian characters such as Johnny Canuck, Canada Jack and Nelvana of the Northern Lights. These characters were created by the likes of Murray Karn, Adrian Dingle, Gerry Lazare, Leo Bachle and Jack Tremblay.

The event will also serve as the official launch of a new collection of the complete Nelvana of the Northern Lights by Adrian Dingle, being published by CGA Comics.

Help keep this celebration of Canadian comics going for 10 more years!

The Ting Comic and Graphic Arts Festival has begun! The ARTS Project in London, Ontario will be displaying works by southwestern Ontario cartoonists such as Seth, Marc Bell, Aaron Costain, Jesse Jacobs, Jeff Lemire, Jay Stephens, Diana Tamblyn, myself, and local legend Merle “Ting” Tingley himself until May 3rd.

There’s an opening reception tomorrow (Saturday, April 26th) from 4-6pm at which a number of the artists (myself included) will be in attendance and signing books. It’s FREE, so come on out.

I’ll also be doing two presentations at the gallery on Tuesday, April 29th. One is on Visual Storytelling, the other more specifically about the research that went into my graphic memoir Two Generals. More information here.

Stuck Like a Pig

A new day dawns in today’s STRANGEBEARD.

It’s looking grim for a certain villainous pirate, isn’t it?
