Manitoba Metis plan Riel comic

Canadian Press
Published: Tuesday, January 16, 2007

A Metis organization plans to present the controversial history of Louis Riel in a colour comic that is every bit as colourful as Riel's personality.

The 50-page, hard-cover graphic novel is to be published in both official languages. The proposal includes an interactive DVD, a teacher's guide and student workbook, and an interactive, animated Web site.
There's no mention of Chester Brown's comic-stip biography Louis Riel. It is to be a 50 page 'graphic novel' - though novella may be more appropriate - but I suspect it will be chiefly a teaching aid. Here's the link to the article.
