Toronto is home to some of the best known comics artists in North America. We have an active and vibrant community putting out some of the highest quality comics to be found anywhere. The SpeakEasy Comics Show features an eclectic mix of Toronto’s talented comic book artists - from those who do newspaper strips and political cartoons, to underground comix and mainstream superhero comic books! The event promises to display an exciting cross-section of the comics community here in Toronto, as well as a glimpse into how good comics are made. As the old cliché goes, there really will be something for everyone.

Final showing of the VISIONS OF AN ICON: SUPERMAN artwork to benefit the Joe Shuster Awards at the Speakeasy Comic Book Show on November 6, 2008

 

The Joe Shuster Awards are happy to present a final showing of the Visions of an Icon: Superman artwork created by Canadian creators in 2008. Some pieces will be available for sale at the show, the remainder (including pieces by Dave Sim, Todd McFarlane, Tom Grummett) will be auctioned on eBay. The artwork has only been displayed to the public once before - at the Sequential Art Symposium back on June 14, 2008.

 

The Joe Shuster Awards honour the achievements of Canadians working on comic books, graphic novels and webcomics. Established in 2004 and first presented in April 2005. The awards are named after Joe Shuster, the Canadian-born co-creator of Superman, and are named as such with permission of his estate.

 

The Joe Shuster Awards are run by the Canadian Comic Book Creator Awards Association (CCBCAA), (James Waley and Kevin Boyd, Directors), a not-for-profit organization that relies on sponsorship, eBay, sales of prints and memorabilia or private donations.

Dave Ross will be joining us in the JSA room at this event. Possibly one other.

 

Dave is now working on ANGEL for IDW. He's pencilling and inking his own work, and it is apparently stunning. Dave is bringing originals to display and sell.

Last night was a lot of fun. Lots of people! Lots of questions.
