Canadian Steve MacIsaac gets a Xeric Grant

shirtlifter-cover.gifCongratulations to Canadian Steve MacIsaac and his comic Shirtlifter, they managed to snag a Xeric Grant! Steve is, I believe, unofficially debuting the second issue at TCAF this summer, and I rather liked the first issue. You can check out my review of the first issue here. To find out more about Canada’s Steve MacIsaac (and read a bunch of his comics for free), check out his website at http://www.stevemacisaac.com/.

The rest of the Xeric Nominees for this year have been covered quite nicely by Heidi MacDonald at The Publishers Weekly Blog. Congrats to all of them too, but someone’s gotta give props to the Queer Canadian artists. 🙂

  1. That’s great news, and hopefully it will lead to a little more exposure for Steve’s work. Maybe even persuade Diamond to carry it…

  2. Hey, thanks for the props, Chris, and to answer your question, yes, I am still planning to debut SHIRTLIFTER #2 at TCAF. In the middle of finishing up the final story for the book now — should be easily done on time.
