Review
"If the mere mention of the word constitutional makes you see red, then this Canadian comic book -- a fusion of superhero adventure and political satire--is the perfect antidote." -- The Globe and Mail
From the Back Cover
Angloman is a successful merge of comic strip fantasy with the cutting quality of political cartooning. But, just as importantly, this book is evidence of our differences--yes--but differences that have evolved into a culture unto itself, making us all quite...inseparable.--From the Foreword by Aislin (Terry Mosher)
About the Author
Writer Mark Shainblum, a lifelong native of Montreal, leads a secret double life as both mainstream journalist and comic book writer. In the mid-eighties, Shainblum founded Matrix Graphics, an independent Canadian comic book publisher. He was also the co-creator of Northguard, a post-modern superhero series acclaimed by the Canadian Museum of Caricature as "the most sophisticated depiction ever of a Canadian national superhero." A former literary columnist for Hour, the Montreal arts and culture weekly, Shainblum currently freelances for such publications as The Montreal Gazette and Quill & Quire, as well as New York’s Broadway Comics. Illustrator Gabriel Morrissette is a prolific comic book artist who began his career in 1984 collaborating with Shainblum on Northguard. In recent years Morrissette has worked on such classic mainstream comics as Doc Savage and Spiderman 2099, as well as many alternative and independent comics. Morrissette has also worked extensively in French for such Québecois humour magazines as Croc and Safarir, for whom he illustrates the adventures of humorous Québecois superhero Séveudireman. His illustration of Northguard’s ally Fleur de Lys was recently featured in a Canadian superhero stamp series issued by Canada Post.
