THE JOE SHUSTER AWARDS

CANADIAN COMICS AWARDS, NEWS & LINKS

Day: July 8, 2011

SDCCI: Friday Programming drizzled in maple syrup

The hangovers will be in full force after two nights of schmoozing, but there’s LOTS to see and do on Friday involving those of us “from a foreign country”… David Finch and Chester Brown in the Spotlight, UDON has their panel, and The Dragon’s Jennifer Haines participates in the retailing panel.

Happenings: A C4 Update

The Prairie Geek has pointed out another unfortunate aspect of Wizard’s departure: Outside of time, one of the biggest hurdles C4 is facing is filling the content gap left behind by Wizard’s departure. All of the guests who were organized by Wizard to attend the con were under contract with Wizard, meaning they have no commitment… Read More Happenings: A C4 Update

SDCCI: Thursday Programming with a side of Back Bacon

Not a lot of Canadian stuff on Thursday – but I would highly recommend the True Stories and Comics for Teens panels and the Spotlight on Cameron Stewart.

Interviews: Emily Carroll (The Comics Journal)

Sean T. Collins at The Comics Journal has posted today an interview with our 2011 Outstanding Webcomics Creator winner, the fantastic EMILY CARROLL.

SDCCI: The Canadian Special Guests

Or more like… where are the Canadian special guests? I mean really, looking over the special guests this year I wonder what makes a person special at SDCCI? As a comics fan I’m having a hard time getting excited over the list they’ve posted of the usual standbys — of course there are exceptions like… Read More SDCCI: The Canadian Special Guests

SDCCI 2011: Your “Canadian Connection”

We are coming up quickly to the time of year when the Canadian comics “snowbirds” make their annual trek South for one week of the summer — the San Diego Comic-Con International takes place from July 20-24, 2011 and the JSA blog is your place for information on all things Canadian there! Over the next… Read More SDCCI 2011: Your “Canadian Connection”

Retailer Roundup – May/June, 2011

As you can imagine, we were really busy in May and June getting ready to hand out our annual awards. Which resulted in a never completed May version of Retailer Roundup. Even more new shops have opened up recently (or been recently discovered, whichever), and a couple of deletions as well. Comic retailing is fluid,… Read More Retailer Roundup – May/June, 2011

About Us

Comic books, like Jazz, are a North American invention that has been embraced all over the globe --- and from the Platinum Age to the present, Canadian artists, writers and cartoonists have been shaping it along the way.

The Joe Shuster Awards celebrate Canadians who create comics at home or abroad. They are named after Joe Shuster, the Canadian artist that co-created a character that has had tremendous impact on the industry and the world.

The Canadian Comic Book Creator Awards Association seeks to identify and provide FREE resources on the who, what, when and where of Canadians working in comics, selling comics, and celebrating comics.

What if a Canadian Creator Moves Away? Joe Shuster, Hal Foster – are they really Canadian?

Is Superman Canadian? Our position.

Taking us beyond the New Frontier: Darwyn Cooke (1962-2016)

Positive Spirit and Determination: Debra Jane Shelly (1974-2014)

Jerry Robinson (1922-2011)

Thank you, Jerry. We will miss you.
