GENE DAY AWARDS
The Gene Day Awards honour Canadian comic book creators or creative teams who self-published their work but did not have the books distributed by a third party such as Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc.
This year, I submitted three titles for consideration: Thunder #5, Gloaming #2, and Spectrum #1. While they all made the list of inclusion, regrettably none of them were made the final cut for nomination. However, I’d like to make a big shout-out to the short list of this year’s nominees:
- MITCH COOK, KEITH GRACHOW – Saltwater #1 (Kika Mika Comics)
- JOHN FLEMING, COLETTE TURNER – Badassical #1 (Dapper Drone)
- MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER HERON, ANDREA FORT, SAM BECK – Songs for the Dead #1 (Necromancer Press)
- JAMIE MICHAELS, EVIN COLLIS – Canoe Boys (Dirty Water Comics)
- NUNUMI – Sky Rover
- VARIOUS – Toronto Comics, Vol. 3 (Toronto Comics Anthology)

HAPPY CANADA DAY– 150 YEARS!
At Calgary Expo this year, Jeremy Thew drew a wonderful picture of my half-Norse God, half-Canadian hero, THUNDER, meeting his hero, Captain Canuck. I showed the sketch to Richard Comely, the creator of the good Captain; today I have coloured it and present it to share with you my joy of being Canadian, and to share a couple Canadian heroes with you.
