Special guest report from Laura Susong on the 2013 Toronto Comics Arts Festival (TCAF). Alternative Comics found itself in a serious last-minute crunch when artist Karl Stevens fell ill and could not attend the show. Like the kick-ass stormtrooper she is, Laura stepped up to the plate and made the drive over from Detroit to cover the booth with barely a day’s notice.
Being as this was my very first comic arts convention, I couldn’t have asked for better wolves to whom to be thrown. the TCAF staff, volunteers, and creators all around me were supportive and helpful. Shout out to everyone who made this happen.
I think you can pretty much figure out what’s going on in all these pictures. there are shots before/after capacity; of the beautiful venue (a library! brilliant!); the table; some cool people who stopped by; and some dank ass pho i had. [And lots of clever novelty T-shirts]
Laura, John Will and Elaine M. Will, creator of Look Straight Ahead. The Alternative Comics table crew.

oh, this photo of all the stuff spread out on a buffet are my spoils. all that for $35!!! unbelievable!
Laura has recently moved to Detroit and is a volunteer at the mighty 826 Michigan operation.
It’s the Mitten State’s affiliate of Dave Eggers’ awesome 826 Valencia.
