Intruders in the Northern - $5 in Calgary, Alberta for sale

Hardcover book in close to mint health condition with dust-jacket.



Just what do Superman, Royal prince Valiant, Cerebus the Aardvark, and Spawn share? Their developers Joe Shuster, Harold Foster, Dave Sim, and Todd McFarlane are Canadians. And while several of the advanced skills of visuals books and modern comics are also from Canada artists such as Chester Brown, Seth, Dave Cooper, and Julie Doucet, far as well few Canadians understand their country had an impressive participation with the "funnies" long in the past. Invaders from the North profiles past and existing comic brilliants, sheds headlight on unjustly ignored phases in Canada's pop record, and shows how this country has actually risen to the leading edge of worldwide comic art, efficiently challenging the long-established boundaries in between low and high culture. Generously highlighted with black-and-white and colour comic covers and panels, Invaders from the North dishes out a cheeky, brash cavalcade of outrageous and flamboyant personalities and personalities that graphically prove to Canada's verve and creation on the planet of visual storytelling.
