More on Corb Lund

:: Posted by Bryan @ 3/05/2007 06:34:00 AM
Dose.ca provides another profile of the crossover comic Corb Lund's Western Tales:


To find singer-songwriter Corb Lund's first appearance in a comic book, you would have to go back more than 20 years.

Somewhere in the dusty back copies of DC Comics' action-packed Sgt. Rock series is a letter written by a young Corby Lund of Taber, Alta.

The then 10-year-old rancher's son thought he had spotted a typo in a drawing of a sign outside a German village in one of Sgt. Rock's Second World War adventures. The comic-book fanatic felt obliged to alert the good Sergeant's team of editors to the mistake.

"It seemed really important at the time," says Lund, who admits he had forgotten about his letter being printed until a friend showed him a copy of the issue. "But the editors answered the letter, saying that's how the word was spelled in German. I was just stoked to be in there."

More than 20 years later, Lund has been immortalized proper in his own comic book title.
