True to his word, Herve St.Louis has launched a Canuck comics section over at Comic Book Bin. The subject of his opening remarks is the history of Canadian superheroes, loosely defined. A compact introduction to the various attempts over the years to create a nationalistic cartoon hero for this country along the lines of Capt. America or Superman in the U.S.A.

The conclusion? Sasquatch from Marvel Comics' Alpha Flight gets the nom as "Canada's national hero." Well, he is in all those tv ads for beer.
