The Never-Ending, Four-Color Festival: Shows And Events



By Tom Spurgeon

* wow, wow, wow look at the French-language cartoonist and Wowee Zonk participant line-ups at TCAF. What an amazing bunch of gets. That's a whole show right there.

* Linework NW has started naming its special guests. That show has an illustration/art focus which leads to about half of their featured artists in any given year. I like that show, I think it's a perfect neighborhood show, and hope I can get out there.

* veteran writer-about-comics Brigid Alverson covers C2E2, a commuter train ride from her old stomping grounds.

* report on "The Face Of Scottish Comics."

* another incremental step -- possible big news, possibly not news -- in the saga of Comic-Con International's lawsuit agains the similarly themed show in Salt Lake City.

* I don't see this as any big deal; I don't detect a crucial overlap in the core attendees that would wound one show or the other. I could be wrong, though.

* finally, CR's co-publisher Jordan Raphael sent along a few photos from the LA version of WonderCon. The kids in tow are his children Leo and Mirabel, big comics fans. I think that was an interesting experiment, and I hope people found out anything they wanted to find out so that the southern California convention scene will continue to stabilize. Thanks, J.
