  • If you're looking to discover comics as an art form, Beguiling is the place to visit. Stepping in for the first time, the collection on their shelves can be overwhelming. But if you slow down and take a closer look, you'll definitely find something that interests you. Or maybe several things, after which you may end up having a hard time choosing. While there's impressive collection of superhero works here, what's really impressive is their selection of international and independent items. For instance, I found James Jean's PROCESS RECESS 2 on the shelves during one walkabout, still at an affordable price and well after it was out of print. Another time, I found Inoue Takehiko's DRAW DVD set - something I thought I'd never find on local shelves - in its manga section. The place never disappoints! And the guys, obviously, know their stuff. The Beguiling is one of those places that, in some circles, is synonymous with Toronto's Annex. For those that've read Scott Pilgrim, you may notice The Beguiling is something interwoven into the series' history :) Through their long life in the area, they've built up the Toronto Comics Art Festival (TCAF). A decade ago, TCAF 'took over' the area around Honest Ed's for one weekend every two years; now, it's held annually at the Toronto Reference Library. Through the growth, the festival has never lost its vibe - something closer to 'conventions' held overseas, or perhaps Artist's Alley (to compare closer to home). Because of their history, it's probable you'll find works by some of your fave creators 'before they were known'. Another example: Paul Pope's 'THE CORRUPTOR', one of his earliest works, I found here - signed, affordable, and a first print! I can't recommend The Beguiling enough. I've discovered a lot of comic works from around the world here, and and found a few I never thought I'd get my hands on. Oh, and if you're in Rosedale, they've got a second store @ the Toronto Reference Library now - a lighter selection, but definitely just as cool.
