OOH LA LA The World of Gloria Badcock.

BOOKS & PRINT: Illustrator Maurice Vellekoop returns to comics

Paris during the French Revolution is just one stop on a wild ride from the pen of Toronto illustrator Maurice Vellekoop, who launches The World of Gloria Badcock this month. Last seen in 1997’s Vellevision collection, Gloria and her friends’ latest sexcapades include a lesbian genie, an out-of-control fleshbot and an eccentric time machine. Published by Koyama Press, it’s the first comic in more than 10 years from Vellekoop. The launch, presented by The Beguiling book shop, is hosted by another heroine with well-drawn curves, Sasha Van Bon Bon. 7pm-11pm. Tue, Nov 29. Buddies in Bad Times. 12 Alexander St. koyamapress.com.

Vellekoop also has works in the LGBT Youth Line and Buddies in Bad Times Theatre auctions this month (Thu, Nov 3 and 10, respectively).
