From a write-up at the Comics Journal board:

Under this freat color cover by Jocelyn Houde, you can find a great overview of contemporary Quebec comic artists, such as [b]Mathieu Quesnel, Michèle Laframboise, Jacques Boivin, Nicolas Plamondon, Louis Rémillard, Jocelyn Houde, Marc Richard, Richard Gagnon, Kurt Beaulieu, Jane Tremblay, Rachel Arseneau & Guert. Also, there's the still ongoing Histoire de la bande dessinée au Québec from Michel Viau (who worked on the official website Beyond the Funnies: The History of Comics in English Canada and Quebec with John Bell), and a special 4 pages article by Mario Rendace on Les deux petits nains, the first sci-fi comic strip in Quebec (dated from 1947 to 1949).

As a special occasion, the first 50 copies of this issue have 2 ex-libris joined to them, from a gallery of characters from the story Morgenrot, by Houde & Richard. Such ex-libris will also be inserted in the issues #76, 78, 80 & 82, to complet the collection.
