TCAF – MAY 7TH & 8TH AT THE TORONTO REFERENCE LIBRARY, 789 YONGE STREET, TORONTO, CANADA



Convention season is nicely under way and we welcome those who joined our list at MoCCA, especially Lucinda who won our prize draw! This weekend it is the turn of those Northern Neighbors to host TCAF – Toronto Comic Arts Festival. Full details can be found here: http://torontocomics.com/ . Thanks and good luck to all involved and lots of fun to every visitor!



Fanfare / Ponent Mon will be in attendance on the first floor (is that what I call ground floor?) at table 152, right by the Beeton Auditorium (programming) entrance and the way up to the next floor of the show. We’ll be highlighting our new title FARM 54 which will ship to stores later this month. You can see an excerpt from the book over at the Graphic Novel Reporter site here: http://graphicnovelreporter.com/content/farm-54-0 Be sure to stop by and take a look at this and our other award winning titles.

…talking of a newly designed WEB SITE guess what we just did?



We hope you enjoy the new look site which we feel is much easier to navigate and find the information you seek. Now we have the basics up there we will work on the mistakes (Oooops!) and making additions and further improvements. We are always pleased to hear from you with your thoughts and you can now contact us more easily through the site. First ten interesting and fresh ideas that we receive and use will receive a free book from our award winning range. [Sorry, we already thought of the Facebook / Twitter bit which will come in time J]
