Amnon Buchbinder's Collection
Amnon Buchbinder passed away in November of 2019. Amnon's family have donated his private collection of comics and graphic novels to the library so that they could be shared with community members. Amnon was a filmmaker, author and professor of screenwriting at York University’s School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design. You can find a list of titles donated with a link to records for those catalogued so far here.

Fundraising Campaigns
Help Keep the Comics Library Open! | Indiegogo
Our second crowdfunding campaign can be found here. Those perks which included web recognition are reflected here to recognize our generous contributors— we would not be where we are without you! From this campaign, we are able to rent our space for another YEAR and make our collection circulating so community members can take home comics! As of January 2020, we have been in our CSI Regent Park location for over 9 months!
