Early yesterday morning I went to see the Toronto Comic Arts Festival with a friend. We went early, so as to avoid the crowds, but even at 10:30 there were a lot of crowds. There were also a lot of exhibitors: This year, TCAF not only covered three floors of the Toronto Reference Library, it stretched a north a block on Yonge Street to include the Masonic Temple as a venue, as well as other locations scattered the length of Bloor downtown.







I have passed by the Masonic Temple many times, but I had never actually gone inside until yesterday. The space's most recent incarnation as a theatre and performance space are obvious.


One piece of art I quite liked came from Adrian Alphona's sketchbook, at his display at the Masonic Temple, of the first issue of Ms. Marvel. I've seen these pages, of Kamala Khan struggle down streets filled with terrigen mist, before in print. Seeing the delicate ink drawings was something else entirely.
