The Beguiling is proud to welcome Toronto native Cameron Stewart to the store, to sign the first issue of his new Vertigo series THE OTHER SIDE! An epic and surreal exploration of America’s most haunting war, Cameron Stewart provides some of the most visceral and impressive art of his career on this title. Best known for his work on Catwoman and Seven Soldiers of Victory: Guardian, this is a departure for Cameron and we’re really excited about the new series. THE OTHER SIDE #1 will be released on October 4th from DC/Vertigo, and the signing will occur that weekend, on Saturday October 7th from 2PM-4PM.

Welcome to The Beguiling Blog

Hi there, welcome to our blog.

In case you’re just joining us, The Beguiling Books & Art was founded in 1987 in Toronto, Canada. Showcasing the largest selection of alternative, underground and avant-garde graphic story telling in the country (not to mention manga, BD, superheroes, ‘the new mainstream’, and much more…), The Beguiling has a worldwide reputation for excellence. Among the many accolades afforded the store, the most prestigious was the first-ever Eisner Spirit of Retailing Award for excellence in retailing. The Beguiling has also sponsored many book signings, conventions and poetry/prose readings with legendary and current comics creators such as Robert Crumb, Harlan Ellison, Neil Gaiman, and others. In 2003, The Beguiling hosted it’s first itteration of the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, bringing alternative and independent comics creators from around the world to Toronto to celebrate the best of comic art. The next will follow in August 2007, and more information can be found at http://www.torontocomics.com/tcaf.
