Comic book panels bursting with rippling muscles and bulging breasts, a guaranteed sight at this weekend's Toronto Comicon (at the Holiday Inn, 377 King Street West), might be more than a Captain Underpants–obsessed kid normally sees. In an attempt to cater to older fans with children—and nurture a new generation of DC-obsessives—this year’s Comicon will feature a Comics for Kids area for children under 12 (who, consequently, can attend free with an adult). The......

When you're feeling the need to flip through a comic, but good and clean Calvin & Hobbes won't curb your controversial cravings, and Manga shows off more than you bargained for—worry not, we've all been there. And after years of pursuit of the perfect graphic saga, we've finally come across a strip with the just the right amount of moral compromise. Jesus: The Awkard Years is the web comic started last year by a couple......

The finalists for the 2008 Doug Wright Awards for Canadian cartooning have been announced! There were no major upsets: Montreal-based publishing house Drawn and Quarterly practically swept the nominations, but there are also a considerable number of self-published works on the shortlist. One exciting twist this year was the addition of a new category, The Pigskin Peters Award for works that are "more experimental in nature or lack a traditional narrative structure." The winners......

According to Torontoist readers, Ellen Page seemed like the obvious (too obvious?) choice to play Flowers to Cera's Pilgrim, but it was announced yesterday that Mary Elizabeth Winstead will be playing the elusive American delivery girl. Winstead is best known......

Every Saturday morning, beginning today, Historicist looks back at the events, places, and characters—good and bad—that have shaped Toronto into the city we know today. Covers of Superman #1 (Summer 1939), Superman #6 (September-October 1940) and Adventure Comics #103 (April 1946), all pencilled by Joe Shuster. All characters depicted above copyright DC Comics. For a 70-year old, Superman looks good for his age. Since his debut in Action Comics #1 in 1938, the Man of......
