We recently did an interview for the first issue of KOSHKA. " KOSHKA brings you the best in art, culture, and ideas from an Eastern European perspective."
Many thanks to the editor Kaitlin Kostus, and we wish her great success with the magazine. KOSHKA is available through Kaitlin's website, as well as Quimby's Bookstore in Chicago.


I have a six page comic in the most recent issue of AARGH!, a comics anthology magazine from the Czech Republic edited by our friend Tomáš Prokůpek. Great issue, featuring a spotlight on contemporary German comics ( this issue was launched at the Goethe Institut in Prague ), with a cover and comics by Mawil, and also features comics by two of my absolute favourite artists, Anke Feuchtenberger and Moki Mioke.

I'll have a new comic in issue #11, and AARGH! #12 will feature the entire Baba Yaga and the Wolf in Czech translation.


Below is my story Noc (Night) as it appears in the pages of AARGH!
Also, a little while ago we were featured in Open Book Toronto's Whazamo! Profiles. Check out our drunken rambling here.

Joe Shuster Awards

Well, I must say it was quite the surprise, not to mention a great honour, to have won a Joe Shuster Award this past Saturday night. I thought it was quite a feather in our cap to have been nominated in the first place, but considering the other nominees in our category, I really didn't expect it would go much further. Just goes to show you what a little incantation over candle wax during a lunar eclipse can accomplish !

Huge congratulations also to Koyama Press for winning the Outstanding Comic Book Publisher award. Anne Koyama has been a great publisher to work with, Baba Yaga and the Wolf would not have seen the light of day without her encouragement, support, and patience ( and she definitely needed the latter when dealing with us ! ).

Big shout-out to Komiksarium, the premier Czech comics blog, for such a nice post about our win at the Shusters. Thanks Lukáš !

Baba Yaga and the Wolf and Grey Supreme #1, by Mark Laliberte reviewed on Death To The Universe.

Here in winter wonderland, we're working on some new animation and comics, so stay tuned.

Even in a snowstorm our mail carrier is undaunted. Just received a copy of this beautiful little book : The Little Otsu Living Things Series Vol 1 - A Guide to Eastern European Wildlife by Lizzy Stewart. Highly recommended.
