Moonstone Books have canadian superheroes

I dug them (digged them?). For me, the "alas" comes in the fact that they are taking so bloody long to get the third issue out!

Moonstone has canceled the series. Hmmm another Canadian related comic series cancelled!

I've asked David Cutler, the artist, if he or Ty Templeton, the writer, will be able to release the final issue.

While it was not Alpha Flight, the concept was sound, and Canadian.

Oh man, seriously? I was really enjoying that book. It was the closest most people will ever get to reading those Golden Age characters (Freelance, Commander Steel, Nanook) and I was hoping to see more of those classic-issue reprints in the back.

Yeah I was liking the series and the reprints, as well.

I even picked up some original art from issue #1.

Very disappointed that the series appears to have been abandoned.

If you don't mind doing it in digital format, and in case you weren't failiar with it, I recently found a boatload of 40's Canadian comics on here:

I've been blown away by it over the past couple of weeks. Been reading the adventures of Nelvana and Johnny Canuck, among others. Good stuff.

I was reading about that on your blog and my jaw dropped. I never thought there was a place where you could download and read full copies of the Canadian Whites; I'm already reading through their collection of Triumph-American. Thank you so much for discovering that.

Happy to. And I almost didn't mention it because I thought it might be common knowledge for people who follow the comic world more closely than I do.

Lots of cool characters back then and it's interesting to read Nelvana with the perspective that she helped inspire Snowbird.

Reading that stuff puts the whole "decompressed" thing in a whole other light too. They stuffed more onto one page back then than many writers get into entire issues now.

You guys let me know what you think.

The next one I want to check out is Super Duper #3 with Mr Monster. Speed Savage looks like he was in a number of books as well, but didn't get the notoriety that some of the others did.
