TM Maple

:: Posted by Bryan @ 1/23/2007 03:00:00 PM

T.M. Maple was one of the most widely published comic book letter writers of the 1980s. His real name was Jim Burke and he was, of course, from Canada ("The Mad Maple" was his official name). He also published his own fanzines and contributed to many others: his column "The Canuck Stops Here" was a regular feature of Gene Kehoe's seminal It's a Fanzine. Sadly, T.M. died in 1994 of a heart attack. Over at The Comics Journal Message Board, older readers and fans share memories of him, including a comic strip.
