Cam Hayden at YYCFanFair !

Get ready to dive into the wonderfully warped mind of Calgary's own Cam Hayden at YYCFanFair in August! Heavily inspired by the classic irreverence of Mad Magazine, Cam is a master of indie cartoons, bringing his signature style to titles like the retro-creepy Roomies from The Tomb and his hilarious Instagram fan-comic Star Trek: M33. He is also fresh off the highly anticipated release of Death Metal Duck, a decade-in-the-making graphic novel about the realities of growing older—told entirely through ducks. Whether you love bizarre indie anthologies or just want to support a phenomenal local artist with a knack for the weird and wonderful, be sure to stop by his table and grab some killer original art!
