Who doesn’t love a contest? As part of a promotion I set up with Toronto’s EYE WEEKLY Magazine, who is sponsoring The Toronto Comic Arts Festival this year, EYE is giving away a complete set of comics and graphic novels nominated for the 2007 Doug Wright Awards, as well as the three 2005 TCAF Posters signed by their respective artists, Marc Bell, James Jean, and Darwyn Cooke! It’s a little something for everyone. We’ll probably even throw in a copy of the 2003 poster, though it probably won’t be signed. And the books? You’ll get:
Shenzen: A Travelogue From China, Guy Delisle (Drawn and Quarterly)
This Will All End in Tears, Joe Ollman (Insomniac Press)
Scott Pilgrim and The Infinite Sadness, Bryan Lee O’Malley (ONI Press)
Gilded Lilies, Jillian Tamaki (Conundrum Press)
Nog-a-dod, Marc Bell ed. (Conundrum Press)
Gray Horses, Hope Larson (ONI Press)
House of Sugar, Rebecca Kraatz (Tulip Tree Press)
Was She Pretty?, Leanne Shapton (Farrar, Strauss & Giroux)
Bacter-area, Keith Jones (Drawn and Quarterly)
Mendacity, Tamara Faith Berger & Sophie Cossette (Kiss Machine Presents…)
You’re probably not familiar with all of those, but they’ve been nominated as some of the best or most promising books in Canada for this year, and so you SHOULD know all about them.
You can enter the contest at: http://eyeweekly.com/contests/comicarts/index.php.
It’s free, they won’t spam you or sell your info. There’s the extra added bonus of showing them that Comics Events are popular and interesting and they should sponsor more of them, hint-hint, so the wider this gets spread (and the more people that sign up) the happier I’ll be.
