A Toronto Story

Never heard of Scott Pilgrim? Me neither! Apparently a free issue of this comic was distributed a few weeks ago, and now the whole book (24 pages) is online.

Why do I mention this? Well, as I was reading it, I discovered that it is set in Toronto! This rarely happens in the funny-books, so it was a real treat. Want to see fictional characters walking around Queen Street? If your answer is yes, click here for the whole story, and scroll down.

A brief excerpt:

:D
That's the only page that uses a photomic technique - the rest of it is completely hand drawn.

Also, the new Scott Pilgrim collection is having a release party in Toronto sponsored by Steamwhistle Brewery and The Beguiling shop. Anyone interested in attending?
