Alter Ego to Reprint Great Canadian Comic Books

:: Posted by Bryan @ 6/13/2007 12:02:00 AM

According to the advance publishing info for the magazine Alter Ego, the August issue will reprint the classic 1970s history of WWII Canuck comics by MICHAEL HIRSH & PATRICK LOUBERT. The book was quite an eye-opener when initally published and spurred an interest in Canadian comics among many young fans (myself included). The information here doesn't really explain how much of the original content (ie, what strips) will be reprinted and Roy Thomas hasn't answered my email asking for clarification, despite the fact I wrote a fan letter to Arak Son of Thunder.


ALTER EGO 71 spotlights THE GREAT CANADIAN COMIC BOOKS, and features a fabulous cover by GEORGE FREEMAN, from a layout by JACK KIRBY! This issue, we're proud to represent the milestone 1970s book by MICHAEL HIRSH and PATRICK LOUBERT on Canada's 1940s Golden Age --back in print after three decades, with rare art of such heroes as Mr. Monster, Nelvana of the Northern Lights, The Penguin, Thunderfist, The Dreamer, The Brain, Johnny Canuck, et al.! Also: JIM AMASH interviews AL SCHUTZER, Golden Age writer of Superman, John Wayne, Hopalong Cassidy, Straight Arrow, etc. --lavishly illustrated by BOB POWELL, FRED MEAGHER, the JOE SHUSTER Studio, and others! Bonus: Brand new Invaders drawings by JOHN BYRNE, MIKE GRELL, ERNIE CHAN, RON LIM, CHRIS IVY, BENITO GALLEGO, and others! Plus there's FCA (Fawcett Collectors of America) with Marc Swayze, C.C. Beck, and others, Michael T. Gilbert and Mr. Monster, and more!
