From Thursday through to Sunday I’ll be exhibiting at Fan Expo Canada, the largest convention in the country!

I’m also moderating a panel all about pitching creator-owned comics:

THURSDAY 6:45pm ROOM 715
WRITERS UNITE! PITCHING YOUR CREATOR-OWNED COMICS
Creator-owned comics have grabbed the imagination of the comic-reading community all over again and publishers are looking for fresh ideas from a new generation of talent. Listen closely as creators Ed Brisson (Sheltered), Steve Niles (30 Days of Night), and moderator Jim Zub (Skullkickers) discuss pitching their comic series to publishers and offer advice on how to climb to the top of the treacherous submission mountain along with comic writing techniques and amusing anecdotes.

and signing at Valiant Entertainment (BOOTH 738) on Sunday at 2pm.

If you’re in Toronto I hope to see you there! It’s going to be a great show.

To Be Or Not To Be Artwork

ZubEnding-DontFreakOut

I was thrilled to contribute a piece of artwork to Ryan North’s To Be Or Not To Be book. It’s available now and you should check it out. Slate really liked it and so will you.

Here’s the text that goes with my illo:

You look around and see Hamlet’s friend Horatio nearby. He looks like he’s freaking out.

“Hey,” you say. “Listen – Horatio, right? Listen, don’t freak out.”

He seems to freak out a little less. That’s good.
