To announce his appearances in Montreal a few of the local dailies and weeklies ran profiles of Chester and his recent work
----
Oct 26 in the Montreal Gazette:
Comic-strip maverick takes on Louis Riel,
Chester brown in town. Published biography in form of graphic novel
“Dubbed "a brilliant maverick" by Time magazine, Brown is the Canadian superhero of the not-so-new, but suddenly hot adult comic-strip phenomenon. An underground DIY graphic-art movement dating back to the late 1960s, the adult comic is enjoying a new round of mainstream attention, thanks to the hit movies Ghost World and American Splendor. The form won literary respect in 1986, when Art Spiegelman's Maus won the Pulitzer as best novel.
Brown is in town today to deliver a slide-lecture at the Town of Mount Royal Library and to sign copies of the hardbound Riel bio at the Paragraphe bookstore downtown. Born in Montreal in 1960, Brown grew up a unilingual anglo in South Shore Châteauguay. He has lived in Toronto since 1979.”>>>
----
Oct 23-29 ish of the Montreal Mirror
ArtsWeek: Keeping it Riel (also available on the D+Q site ici )
“Rarely is Canadian history delivered in a package as absorbing as Chester Brown's latest oeuvre. Originally released in 10 serialized editions, the local comic artist/historian's Louis Riel: A Comic Biography has been fused into a tight unit by also-local publisher Drawn and Quarterly.” >>>
----
Oct 18
Chester made the National press in the Globe & Mail, taking the cover story for the Book Review section.
The venerable Canadian national newspaper ‘Lavished’ the book with non-stop accolades, reviewer Bernice Eisenstein states "if you love to read a gripping story, if you are awed by the talent of an artist, then look no further: Chester Brown’s LOUIS RIEL is comix history in the making, and with it, history never looked so good."
"Riel’s story of injustice and intrigue and the machinations of an expanding nation are stylishly written, but Brown’s well-paced schematic unfolding knows when to pull back the word and release the artistic arsenal of cinematic techniques, frame by frame. Thus, battle scenes are pure image, capturing the close-up tensions and movement of action, and Riel’s isolation is revealed in silence. Word and pen unite together, near the end, when Riel is tried for treason."
Along with featuring LOUIS RIEL on the cover of the Book Review and the front page of the newspaper, the GLOBE & MAIL ran two full pages of art alongside the review. >>>

A reminder for the upcoming vernissage:
Permalink
Plan Cartésien Monday October 20 at 18:00hr
@ cegep du Vieux Montreal, 255 rue Ontario Est.
The Mechanics General [MG] stable is pleased to invite you to the Plan Cartésien exhibit, a gallery show of Comix Art & stories on the theme of the City. Seen from the sky, a city somewhat resembles a comic strip. Boxes overflowing with life; networks of corridors & cubicles. Street as the gutters between panels in comics; place reserved for the imagination of the reader. The panels of a page could be seen as a wall of windows. Windows that let in the air and the light, & make it possible to be devoted to the guilty pleasures of voyeurism. To some at first glance both can resemble a monotonous grid, but if one looks closely, they discover a generous anthill of surprises!
We [MG] asked several authors living in Quebec to speak to us about the city. How do we live together, in prisms with rectangular bases? Made out of concrete? How to improve our lot without running up against each other? How co-inhabit, satisfying both the interests of the individual and those of the community?
The resulting collection of stories will be published in an anthology of sequential art, with which Mechanics General seeks to shine a spotlight the new generation of authors living in Quebec for whom urban life is already a subject of some preoccupation. By considering the stories mounted on the walls of the exhibit or in the pages of Plan Cartésien it’s possible to observe some overarching tendencies for this group of authors. The first, strongest, is the echo of a feeling of insecurity visa-a-vie the brittleness of world balance. The second is the great constant of the comic strip québécoise: absurd, cynical or poetic humour. But most astonishing to us is the appearance of a form of transparent unabashed sentimentalism. An almost dangerous honesty.
The show will include work by Sherwin Tjia, David Turgeon, Daniel Plaisance, Djieff, Boo, Valérie Morency, Billy Mavreas, Jean-Nicolas Vallée, Carlos Santos, Christian Daigle, Sebastien Trahan, Salgood Sam & more! (a lot more, this is a big show!)
In addition there will be two new small MG books launched at the gallery opening
 Moins 22 degrés Celsius- A simple story, Drawn over three days for a Showing of "the general mechanical stable" in February 2003: A young woman rises one morning and prepares to go to work. She lives with a cat but one feels that this companion is not enough to fill her loneliness, she seeks, in the music which she listens to and films she watches, traces of a male presence. A small book of desire describing the environment and time that passes, telling an unspoken story. A story of a hart.
 Petits Mensonges- The year 1977 revisited through the childhood eyes of PhlppGrrd. The author evokes anecdotes from his history by introducing us into a world were truth and the fog of memory merge. The narration can be rich in spite of a disconcerting economy of means that lends to the air of childhood experience, capturing moments that make us smile and that move us.
Update: At 7pm I returned from helping Jimmy, Sebastien, Kurt & Co. hang the show. Here are a few tidbits from he walls...
...Sorry the images are a bit fuzzy, you'll have to come by the show for better for now...:)
See you there!

Seth in the Vinal Cafe with Sparky
Permalink
Canadian storyteller and humorist Stuart McLean recently launched his latest book. Titled Vinal Cafe Diaries, it's filled with stories of strange secrets, odd dreams, high hopes, and, of course, hilarious misadventures of ‘Dave’, Stuart’s regular character. Notably and of concern to readers of this blog it also features cover and interior designs/illustration by Seth [Palookaville]. I first heard about this on Stuart’s traviling radio show [CBC] the Vinal Café, and then a bit later in a recent radio interview with Seth. It seems the two have found they share a bond over all things witty and slightly used. (no surprise to those familiar with either of them.) slightly more hi profile Seth also did the designing chores on the new Fantagraphics Published Complete Peanuts.

NDP Party Communications officer looses his job over a cartoon in bad taste.
Permalink
Co: Journalista
In Saskatchewan a political cartoon passed around among politicians and political leaders in the New Democrat Party [NDP] depicting their chief rival, the Saskatchewan Parties leader  Elwin Hermanson as a Nazi prison guard herding NDP ‘sympathizers’ into a cattle car.
The author of the cartoon, NDP communications co-ordinator Carlo Binda, resigned Monday and another official was fired over his role in the matter. Hermanson, head of the Saskatchewan Party, said Calvert expressed regret during a cell phone call. "I just told the premier that I accept his apology and that my feeling was actions speak louder than words," Hermanson said. Earlier the same day, Calvert apologized on a Regina radio show to Hermanson and the Jewish community. "There is nothing funny about it," Calvert said.
In the drawing, Hermanson is dressed in a military uniform with the Saskatchewan Party "S" on his collar. He is holding a long list and calling out names. He calls out for "NDP sympathizer 2,003" to a woman who is wearing a bandanna, carrying a mop and wearing an NDP armband. "But I just wash floors!" she protests.

Marvel Boots Bill, NOT, Gives Canadians a price brake (damn strait, what with the week ass US dollar) and brings back Alpha Flight...why?
Permalink
Have I mentioned Bill Jemas has been caned? Personal opinion aside, Paul O'Brien did a pretty good bit on Jemas’s exit and what It may mean for Marvel at NINTHART....except it all a lie! he's not been fired, he's been moved to a different position, where his mouthpiece tendencies will no doubt serve him well....."chief marketing officer"....HA HA HA! They WILL never learn will they. Well there's some more shuffling going on there aside from that, you can read the the press release ici. Also allong with Paul O'Brien's two cents, here are some more web pundits on the issue care of Dirk at TCJ, J.W. Hastings, Steven Grant & Brandon Fienstein (temporary link)
Canadian fans of Marvel Comics have reason to be happy. In a press release sent out by Marvel Comics they announced that the company will be lowering the Canadian cover price by at least .50 cents and up to $1 on most Marvel titles beginning with books on sale December 5th. The new Canadian price structure is as follows:
New Canadian Price - Old Canadian Price
$0.75 - $0.85
$1.50 - $1.60
$3.25 - $3.75
$3.50 - $4.00
$4.25 - $4.75
$5.00 - $5.75
$5.75 - $6.50
$7.00 - $7.95
$8.50 - $9.50
These changes will not affect the price of Marvel graphic novels.
In other news the Canadian super-team Alpha Flight would be returning in an all-new ongoing series next year. Oh baby, I’m all a quiver.

cover art/flyer for the vernissage for Plan Cartésien
There are a few new news posts on the MG site, from the 10th & 12th of September and the 8th of October. The big news is the upcoming vernissage for the anthology book titled Plan Cartésien Monday October 20 at 18:00hr @ cegep du Vieux Montreal, 255 rue Ontario Est.
The show will include work by Sherwin Tjia, David Turgeon, Daniel Plaisance, Djieff, Boo, Valérie Morency, Billy Mavreas, Jean-Nicolas Vallée, Carlos Santos, Christian Daigle & Salgood Sam. In addition there will be two new small books launched at the gallery opening, titled Petits mensonges & Moins 22 degrés Celsius.
Also Jimmy recently sent me a cool link to a site he contributes to, check it out. It seems to be an underground arts and culture page [I’ve still not had time to properly explore it], Jimmy and a number of other local artists are regular contributors to it.
I also learned through the Oct8 post that Jean-Pierre Ronfard has passed away recently. I was unfamiliar with him myself but it seems he was a major figure in québécois literary culture (theater and BD) and will be missed dearly.
here are google translation of those news posts - Sept 10 - Sept 12 - Oct 8 -

The publisher of EGON is looking for a job
Permalink
 One of the most active and comprehensive comix news sites for the last year and a bit has been EGON, Operated by William S. Kartalopoulos. Like most sites of it’s type (including this one) has been a labour of love and supported largely by William’s willingness to take the time to maintained it (his 90 wpm typing skills probably come in handy here) and bankroll it. But like most labours of love, when the day job takes a hike it puts a serious crimp in the publishers ability to maintain. William’s last job seems to have done just that and now he’s in need of gainful employment, or at least a few $ till then. I’ll let him explain the details
So, anyone out there have need of a NY based, fast typing, drawing, designing and programming, editing, researching, knowledgeable web savvy young man? I can think of at least a few publications and publishers that likely should. Also, I imagine his skills could be very helpful to any creators out there looking to promote there work.
You can contact him about a line of work at egoninfo@yahoo.com
Or, just give him a direct hand by donating a few $ to his paypal account here

THE PANELIST
Indie jones on the street: Guy Leshinski reports on the Toronto edition of The 14th-annual Word on the Street lit fair on Sept. 28
 "The 14th-annual Word on the Street lit fair on Sept. 28 ably demonstrated that this town has some great indie publishers, marching to their own arrhythmia in the looming shadows of the word industry. Some of these hot steppers are even further off the beat and channel their DIY into alternative comics. A few put their books to the people that Sunday afternoon, and held their own among the Random Houses and McGraw-Hills"

Sketches of pain: 705 words on The Acme Novelty Date Book by Chris Ware [pub by D&Q]
 "For those so inclined, leafing through a new collection by one of the best artists in his field can be a risky operation. Take Chicago cartoonist Chris Ware. Having torn the comics world from its sinus to its anus three years ago with his masterpiece, Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth (now out in paperback), Ware can twist a comic artist's confidence into pigtails."

THE PANELIST
Golden years: Guy, with the help of Biographer Blake Bell, examines the Golden Age of North American comics in the wake of the Toronto Comics Expo and on the eve of a talk that was given by Blake.
 "Many Golden Age cartoonists toiled in something like sweatshops, leaving work unsigned or miscredited, and little of it has been republished for modern readers to uncover. That bugs the hell out of Blake Bell. "They're forgotten artists from a forgotten era," the Torontonian laments over drinks at a local bookstore. The towering 33-year-old has a yen for these sunken treasures, can riff on their work with cometary speed and shocking depth. He chased down their wives for his anecdote collection, I Have to Live With This Guy, and is all but chummy with Spider-Man's notoriously reclusive co-creator Steve Ditko, whose bio he's also writing."
