I’d like to introduce… Josephine the Moose-Rider! One of the 17 short stories in Epic Canadiana Volume 2, which recently launched on Kickstarter. Josephine’s story was written by D.M. Higgins ( superdames ), drawn by kyle-m-roberts, and I handled the tones.
“This book is the second in a series of graphic novel anthologies dedicated to exploring numerous flavours of superheroism within Canada. EPIC CANADIANA #2 is a black & white anthology featuring awesome comics written and drawn by creators from all over Canada, with 17 stories (over 200 pages!). It features a truly diverse collection of heroes – some of them pastiches of classic 40s characters and others totally new. There are arctic demigods and social activists, restless spirits and bison-riding vigilantes. Canada is a tapestry of great diversity, and we have striven to represent them in our anthology with heroes of various genders, ethnicities, and perspectives, including aboriginal and immigrant champions, a character coping with autism, a gay rights activist, a conflicted colonial soldier, and many more. And carefully studying all of them is Department None, a hidden branch of the Canadian government dedicated to keeping track of all superhumans… and dealing with them if necessary.“
