Just arrived is this handsome slightly oversized hardcover, very similar to DC’s Deluxe format. Sewn binding, excellent printing and paper, and a story I really enjoyed working on. As the sole American on the creative team I learned a great deal about this war between the U.S. and Canada, and found Alan Grant’s script compelling, even though the Americans don’t come off so well!
Claude St. Aubin’s art is also quite good, as is the coloring by Lovern. In addition to the graphic story following one Canadian family thrown into this war, there’s a lengthy and detailed text article by historian Mark Zuehlke filling in lots more of the details. If you’re interested in American or Canadian history, this will not only entertain you, it will probably educate you as well. Find or order it at your comics shop, or contact the publisher for more information:
