I'm also not kidding about the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. The guest list is spectacular -- I'll have a hard time staying behind my table when faced with the opportunity to talk with folks like Emmanuel Guibert, Bryan Lee O'Malley, Hope Larson, Yoshihiro Tatsumi, Kate Beaton, Stuart and Kathryn Immonen, Michael Cho, and so many others that on second thought I need to hire an intern or someone willing to pretend to be me so I can see all those people!
Either way, I can't wait. This year's Festival is in the
Toronto Reference Library. Yes, it's held in a library this year...proof that we
do live in that shiny future we were promised back when we were kids. I hope to see you there.
Don't know if you've booked a room yet, but the Marriott on Bloor (about five blocks from the Library) has affordable rooms.
Hope to see you there! (You gonna have copies of T-Minus for sale?)
Bright shiny future? Try this: from 1983 to 1997, DC published 352 titles. In 2008, DC published 381 titles. (Searching Books In Print, counting each ISBN/EAN used.)
