Just sending this reminder out as there seems to be some confusion. The Vancouver Comic Jam this month is on August 28th, not the 21st. This is to coincide with Comix & Stories, as we try to do every year. I will be sending out a more detailed announcement and invites early next week as a reminder. Thanks,
Midnight Fiction Comix and Reviews specializes in small press, indie and underground comic art. Not only do they provide insightful reviews, the create their own content as well. We are very appreciative of their support for our collective. Please check them out! With all the bustle over Anime Evolution and our Journeys Anthology deadline, we’re postponing the submission deadline for round 10 by one week. Our theme is “The battle of Channel 7″, please submit your 900 max pixel web ready comic to comicbattle@cloudscapecomics.com by Wednesday August 18 at 7:30 PST. Thanks everyone, and especially to those who are patient enough to wait a week for the voting round! Cloudscape is about more than just publishing. We are also about supporting any and all local comics endeavors. To that end we are posting this on behalf of the amazing Sydney More and Professor Trevor Code and their fantastic Comics Support Group. The comics support group is providing writing and drawing sessions to help up and coming artists refine their talents, check them out! These meetings are separate from Cloudscape, and our Wednesday Workshops, but I gather they are loads of fun.
Cloudscape will be at their own booth at Anime Evolution this weekend! Come visit us at booth 121, right next to the Art Institute booth. Also get your copy of Exploded View autographed by Camilla d’Errico at tables 117-118. Xeric Award winner Jonathon Dalton will be on hand at table 90, and on the second floor you will find long time contributor Angela Melick with her fantastic new book “We Are the Engineers” at table 79. All three of these folks have contributed to cover art for our anthologies, and as an exclusive at this convention you can get a special signed and numbered print of our cover art from Exploded View and Robots Pine Trees and Broken Hearts. Supplies are limited, see our booth for details.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (or TMNT for short) was a self-published comic book created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in the early 1980s. Combining elements of Marvel’s X-Men and Daredevil, Frank Millar’s Ronin, and Dave Sim’s Cerebus, TMNT is the story of four mutant turtles taught how to be ninjas by a mutant rat who then decide to defend New York against numerous threats while they remain sequestered in the sewers underneath the city. It was by far the most popular self-published comic book at the time, spawning numerous copycats and founding a media franchise that included toys, cartoon shows, movies, and numerous other merchandise, often with only peripheral connection to the original source materials. The first 17 issues of TMNT (barring the Cerebus crossover) have been placed on the official website along with a few early one-shot spin-offs. To see them, go to the “Comic Book” section at The Official TMNT Website and scroll down to the bottom of the page. |
