Invaders from the North: How Canada Conquered the… av John Bell

A fantastic summary and history of the Canadian Comic Scene from the creators who started it all for Canada, and the creators who've kept our individual imprint "alive". Lots of information is packed in these chapters and I never tire of reading about our own Golden Age of comics.

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!… (mer)
