Références à cette œuvre sur des ressources externes. Wikipédia en anglais (27)Short-listed for the 2007 CBA Libris Awards for Book Design of the Year What do Superman, Prince Valiant, Cerebus the Aardvark, and Spawn have in common? Their creators Joe Shuster, Harold Foster, Dave Sim, and Todd McFarlane are Canadians. And while many of the cutting-edge talents of contemporary comix and graphic novels are also from Canada artists such as Chester Brown, Seth, Dave Cooper, and Julie Doucet far too few Canadians realize their country had a remarkable involvement with the "funnies" long before. Invaders from the North profiles past and present comic geniuses, sheds light on unjustly neglected chapters in Canadas pop history, and demonstrates how this nation has vaulted to the forefront of international comic art, successfully challenging the long-established boundaries between high and low culture. Generously illustrated with black-and-white and colour comic covers and panels, Invaders from the North serves up a cheeky, brash cavalcade of flamboyant and outrageous personalities and characters that graphically attest to Canadas verve and invention in the world of visual storytelling.

The Chapters on our "glory" years of the 80's-90's is especially fascinating but that's mainly due to being friends with many of the creators involved as well as having lived through and being part of the independent movement of those years.
John Bell does an excellent job of analyzing what makes Canadian Comic Creators different. The spotlight features were both entertaining and informative, giving even someone like myself an extra appreciation for the works of certain creators.
A worthy addition to the libraries of any fans of Canadian Comics and History! ( )
