This past weekend I tabled at Toronto Comicon, which was my first convention appearance since October of 2019. It was a great show, lots of fun, talked a lot about comics, caught up with folks I hadn’t seen in a few years, I brought my kids along with me, it was great.
A lot of people picked up my business card, which has a link to this here blog, so I figured what better time than now to update the info about who I am and what I do.
My name is Mark Bertolini, I’m a Toronto-based comic book writer/creator with a number of published works to my name. Here’s a list of my stuff:
