#Canadian #ComicBook Publishers 1941-46

In December 1940 William Lyon Mackenzie King’s Liberal government had banned the import of American comic books, pulps, and “non-essential items” for the war’s duration. Unless you lived along the border there would be no Detective Comics, Action Comics, Adventure Comics, All-American Comics, More Fun Comics, or All-Flash Quarterly. There would be no Batman, Superman or Flash. Cyril Vaughan Bell, “a former Toronto sign painter” told Ross his Bell Features took full advantage of circumstances and “turned out a billioncomic books” between 1941 and 1946.

Near the end of the war, with sales slipping, Bell reprinted old issues, slapped new covers and titles on them, and shipped them to England to be sold. Alexander Ross made no mention of the other major entrepreneurs publishing comic books in Canada during the war years; Anglo-American Publishing, Hillborough Studio, Educational Projects Inc., and Maple Leaf Publishing on the West Coast.

BATMAN -- that international champion of justice, that dreaded scourge of evil -- was created by a garment worker and a shoe salesman named, respectively, Robert Kahn and Bill Finger (both pictured). And it all started in the Bronx!

75 years ago Canadian cartoonist Joe Shuster co-created the world’s premier superhero: Superman. Over the decades the genre has gone from camp to counter-culture, from pop art to postmodern, from noir to new wave. Today’s superheroes feature in bestselling novels, hit TV shows, Hollywood blockbusters … and Masked Mosaic: Canadian Super Stories.

Father and Daughter bond over Comic Books

 What a great article about a father/daughter relationship, that is growing and becoming stronger....because of comic books.

  Logelin wrote that he was surprised to discover his three-year-old daughter was "a total tomboy," and that while he was prepared to teach her about sports and fishing and so forth, he found himself completely at a loss when she professed her love for things like Star Wars and comic book superheroes. No doubt a future ComicsAlliance reader, Maddy is particularly fond of Batman.

DC TOO HOT!! ??

 After taking heat a few months back for a few overly sexualized panels, it looks like DC Comics is under fire again for for putting too much hanky panky in the funny books. This time it’s via the ever fair and balanced newsies at FOX News. An affiliate in Washington D. C. recently ran an overly sensationalized story about the edgey make-over the company gave its line...

Batman 3 Villians

Now that the release date for Batman 3 (or whatever it's going to be called) is set for July 20, 2012, let the debate begin: Who will the Bat battle next?
The Joker is presumably locked up in Arkham Asylum, and while there is always a chance that director Christopher Nolan will recast the part, he might want to leave the late Heath Ledger's iconic performance as his final statement on the character and move on.
