Cree comic launched in Saskatchewan/BC

The CBC reports on Darkness Calls, a comic about a young boy who solves his troubles with the help of the superheroic Wesakechak, the motorcycle-riding trickster-figure from Cree legend. The comic is the brainchild of Steve Sanderson, a Vancouver animator, who created the book "to address the epidemic suicide rate among First Nations youth. It was a project designed to introduce kids to the subject in a medium they might be more familiar with."
