Here be dragons! Comic arts festival reassures skittish U.S. visitors

The festival, which is open to the public, celebrates comics and graphic novels. It will be at Old Victoria College, University of Toronto (Saturday August 18, 10 to 7, Sunday, August 19, 10 to 6). It includes comics-related events, readings, presentations, panel discussions, gallery shows, and a large exhibition area featuring publishers and comic authors and artists. "We like to describe it as 'unconventional'," say the organizers.
The festival has grown considerably; in its first year, about 600 members of the public and 70 comic creators were present; the next year, 6,000 members of the public and 150 creators.
