Nelvana is a great character, but like many other comics of the WWII age, it can feel pretty dated, and the portrayals of the Eskimos (though mostly positive) and the Japanese (very negative) both veered toward racist caricatures. Still, there's a lot to learn from the history of comics, and this was neat piece. Very glad I backed the Kickstarter to get this book produced. ( )
"With Kickstarter funding, editors Nicholson and Richey have done a great service for comics historians and fans by reprinting work from the "Canadian whites": rare black-and-white comics published in Canada during a World War II trade embargo on "non-essential" U.S. goods, including comic books. ..."
"First appearing in 1941, Nelvana was tasked with protecting Canada's northern lands. Using the powers of the northern lights, Nelvana could fly at incredibly fast speeds, become invisible, and even turn to dry ice! She used her great powers to ward off Nazi invaders, shady fur traders, subterranean mammoth men, and interdimensional ether people. With the aid of her brother Tanero, a demigod cursed to appear as a Great Dane, and her sidekick Mountie Cpl. Keene, Nelvana was a steady force for good for six years before her adventures came to an end in 1947. Nelvana's complete adventures have been collected and reprinted in one single volume!" -- Back cover. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
