Joe Shuster AwardsOn Saturday at the Fan Expo Canada in Toronto, the 9th Annual Joe Shuster Awards were presented. The awards focus on Canadian Comic Creators and with awards including: Outstanding Cartoonist, Artist, Writer, Colourist, Cover Artist and Publisher.

As for the name of the awards: "They are named after pioneering Canadian-born artist Joe Shuster (1914-1992), whose clear, dynamic style and inventive visual flourishes set the standard for graphic storytelling during the infancy of the North American comic book industry. It was Superman, a co-creation of Shuster and Jerry Siegel, that electrified the industry in 1938 and, almost overnight, transformed comic books into an enormous pop-cultural phenomenon. "

That most wonderful of comic book fans, Jamie Colville recorded the proceedings. Here's the ceremony, taking an hour.
