This overview of the history of Canadian comics explores not only the few Canadian cartoonists who have received study, but many who have not. Contributors look at the myriad ways that English-language, Francophone, indigenous, & queer Canadian comics & cartoonists pose alternatives to American comics, to dominant perceptions, even to gender & racial categories. Specific works covered range from the earliest Canadian comic books to the work of contemporary creators. In contrast to the United States' melting pot, Canada has been understood to comprise a social, cultural, & ethnic mosaic, with distinct cultural variation as part of its identity. This volume reveals differences that often reflect in highly regional & localized comics such as Paul MacKinnon's Cape Breton based Paul comics, & Kurt Martell & Christopher Merkley's Thunder Bay-specific zombie apocalypse.
