There’s a nice profile of Scott Chantler, creator of Northwest Passage, in the Toronto Star (found via ¡Journalista!), tying in with a Beguiling-sponsored event at the Toronto Reference Library. I mention this only because I love the book and will bring it up at any opportunity. The article is an enjoyable read:
“’There’s a real movement within the comics medium into that sort of middle ground, between corporate superhero comics and the independent artsy comics that veer toward mopey autobiographies,’ says Chantler.”
And that movement’s name is Minx! Oh, wait… never mind.
Back on the subject of Northwest Passage, Chantler shared some good news in comments on a previous post:
“You’ll be glad to know that a collected edition of NORTHWEST PASSAGE is scheduled for spring (good thing, too, because vol.1 is sold out.) It’s going to feature an *enormous* section of sketches, script excerpts, and commentary.”
One of the rare comics that I’ll have to buy twice. I can always give the individual volumes to the library.
