“Ben Rankel’s FRANK is a timeless tale of money, murder and Mother Nature, powerfully told and vibrantly illustrated. Highly recommended for all fans of historical dramas.” - Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Paper Girls) A historical mystery set in the tragedy of the Frank Slide, one of Canada’s deadliest natural disasters. Eve Lee is in a self-destructive spiral—her big plans for a new life in Frank have not at all turned out how she had planned. As Eve hits the bottom she’s forced to confront her expectations when her former lover disappears under questionable circumstances. But is there something sinister at play or is she simply being obsessive and self-centred? And will she be able to put her past behind her before she finds herself buried under it? Reviews "With FRANK, Rankel strips away the stuffiness of most historical fiction and delivers a compelling mystery full of engaging characters, set against the days leading up to the Turtle Mountain slide that buried the mining town. A must-read for history, mystery and comic buffs!" — Troy Nixey (Vinegar Teeth, The Black Sinister, Trout) "From the lush and original colors, to the captivating and perplex narrative that hooks readers in, FRANK is both faithful to a profound moment in Canadian history while still creating something new and exciting to engage comic fans who may not even care about Canadian history. From the alluring cover, to the calm and composed conclusion, FRANK is an enticing dabble through Canadian history told from one of the most promising prospects in comic books." Rating: 5/5 — Fox Force Five " [A] great blend of fact and fiction, with interesting characters and a complex plot that kept me intrigued throughout." — Graphic Novel Resource " Frank is a perfect fusion of contemporary style with fascinating historical content and smart storytelling. More than any other graphic novel, this feels like the perfect bridge to the medium for anyone curious who hasn't yet taken the plunge." — Shea Proulx (Alice at Naptime) " ‘ Readers of Frank will be drawn into the compelling mystery of the graphic novel and the race to solve it before the evidence is destroyed by the historic Frank slide [...] I recommend Frank to readers who enjoy historical graphic novels or mystery novels. The artwork is beautifully drawn and is as historically accurate." — Canadian Materials

From Golden Fields to Crimson. Punjab's brothers in arms in Flanders. 152 pages Why are certain histories covered, discussed and inquired about, while others remain hidden? Going beyond the old tropes of colonised histories this book presents the Indo-Canadian community’s pioneer experience within the events leading to the ejection of the Komagata Maru from Canadian waters in July 1914 and the subsequent outbreak of the Great War in August 1914. Canada has a proud Great War record, and its achievements will be celebrated during WW1 centennial commemorations. However, the story of a longstanding Punjabi-Canadian community that fought for western civilisation & the British Empire, side by side with Canadians and under the same flag, has gone untold. Punjabi soldiers played a pivotal role in the opening months of the war in France & Belgium. A great book to introduce Canadian youth to a more inclusive look at our history. Written by Steven Purewal, illustrated by Christopher Rawlins. Comic book story illustrated by Claude St. Aubin and Ruth Redmond. REVIEWS "It has been said that in the history of the hunt, the hunter has always told the story of the lion. Between 1914 and 1918 nearly 500,000 Turban wearing soldiers from the Punjab Province of British India, served to deliver the freedoms we enjoy today, only to have their images scrubbed from the pages of history by their colonizers. Duty, Honour & Izzat restores those pages in glorious colour and sweeps you through multiple layers of a heroic narrative and a battlefield of emotions. By its end, and after 100 years, I had finally heard the black lion's roar!" - Pardeep Singh Nagra, Executive Director, Sikh Heritage Museum of Canada "[A]n extremely well thought-out and researched book [...] As a whole, Duty, Honour & Izzat shares the untold history of an entire army which was a major player in one of the greatest wars in history. This is something that Punjabis should be proud of, and it’s a history that everyone should know about." - Josh Rose , Rogues Portal " A powerful reminder, or perhaps lesson, that Sikh soldiers were proud members of the British Empire, just like their comrades from Canada and that the First World War was a multicultural war as were Canadian victories at Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele and Cambrai." - Rob Alexander , Rocky Mountain Outlook "Should be a part of the School Curriculum...it will infuse pride and a sense of future and commitment for the well being of Canada." - Mota Singh Jheeta , President of Federation of Sikh Societies "I want to read the book again and again. Also, I want others like me to read the book as well!" - Gurpal Johal - Student, Vancouver "10/10" - Arjan Manhas - Vancouver Island "Duty, Honour, Izzat has been a life-changing book - my personal outlook on Canadian identity has been changed for the better. Growing up as a young kid with a turban I had always felt a disconnect to my identity as a Canadian. After reading Duty, Honor, Izzat, my self-perception on Canadian identity has transformed. Learning many of our forefathers had fought so hard and selflessly for the country we are so blessed to live in, has helped create a deeper and stronger connection with my country and ultimately my culture and heritage. I highly recommend all my peers and the younger generation to read this book, it will reveal truths that many individuals never had the slightest clue about and help ultimately connect us to our roost and finally help transform what it truly means to be a Canadian." - Prabh Tiwana ( Kids Play) - Surrey "Duty, Honour and Izzat is an amazing read. As a teenager (a long, long time ago) I read dozens of books about WW1 and became quite knowledgeable, but I hadn’t realized the contribution made by Indian and, particularly, Sikh troops. The book represents a significant contribution to the understanding of the hitherto little-known, but vital impact made by Indian troops to the success of the British Empire and its allies in WW1 and, by interweaving historical fact with a contemporary morality tale, the book shows how the culture that produced those soldiers is as valuable and effective today as it was a century ago." - Leo Smale - Washington State USA "Duty Honour & Izzat is a very interesting read with major battles like the Somme, Cambrai and Flanders covered. My reason for purchasing this book was a seeming innate fascination all Brits have with the World Wars and understanding how for good or bad, Britain’s influence impacted on others around the globe. This book serviced that need but also did that rare thing of illuminating areas I was previously unaware of and am sure to read further into. The book touches on the injustices, sacrifices and achievements of different military units alongside individuals who excelled and were awarded the highest honors of the crown. Striking a fine balance to ensure a feeling of grievance does not prevail instead a feeling of pride and hope through detailed accounts over overcoming these obstacles. The book describes these conflicts and battles in a way that sparks interest and a desire to then go on and seek further information about these individuals and battles. The newspaper clips and illustrations throughout really bring it all to life and highlight how invaluable these efforts were. This is an enjoyable read that is bound to lead to wider reading around individuals and events that otherwise I would not have come across. Highly recommended!" - Zakk Flanagan - Vancouver "Steven Purewal's "Duty, Honour, & Izzat", combines illustrations by Christopher Rawlins along with vivid historical pictures to shed light on the heroic, yet undervalued contributions made by the people of India in various wars involving the British Commonwealth. Indian people make up a significant portion of the Canadian population, and as such, the book should be treated not only as Indian military history, but also Canadian history. While it is in fact woven into the very law of Canada via the "Canadian Multiculturalism Act" which states that it is "An act for the preservation and enhancement of multiculturalism in Canada", the historical contributions and experiences of various minority groups in Canada has and continues to be either minimized, or completely ignored. Books such as Purewal's, which explore Canadian history through a multicultural lens, should be required reading in Canadian high school history and social studies classes. The cultural mosaic that is Canadian society, as a whole, can only serve to benefit from learning the history and culture of all the people and groups which make it a nation. We should celebrate both our differences and our similarities. That is what makes Canada such a great place to live, and books such as Purewal's serve to remind us of our unique history and our shared history." - Drew Galloway - Vancouver

Details Writer: Lovern Kindzierski Art: John Bolton Letterer: Todd Klein Editor: Alexander Finbow Suggested for mature readers. Reviews "A mystical masterpiece! John Bolton's art is as entrancing as the magical tale it depicts." - John K. Kirk, Pop Mythology "HOPE is a surreal fantasy that utilises the pages of a comic to transport you into a different world where you will be at a constant state of unease and wonder. 4.5/5 stars." - Keven Skinner, Fox Force Five "Beautifully rendered by an absolute master in his field, John Bolton’s art is brilliant. So much detail and expertly applied colouring produce a frameable work of fine art in nearly every panel. Lovern Kindzierski’s prose is equally as exceptional and deep. Not a book you can read in a quick 5-minute break as you will definitely want to sit and absorb the richness of each page." - Martin Boruta, First Comics News "The story by Kindzierski is exciting, action packed and unfolds likes well won action adventure. The art by Bolton feels visceral and can be in any museum. Altogether, a graphic novel which engulfs the reader into this magical world and gives fantasy fiction fans a grand tale." - Pharaoh Miles, Graphic Policy

Elaine M. Will's four-part adaptation of Andreas Schroeder's 1986 novel Dustship Glory tells the story of Damanus ‘Tom’ Sukanen, a Finnish immigrant farmer who came to Canada during the economic Depression of the 1930s. Haunted by his past and devastated by the economic slump and drought conditions that laid waste to the Canadian prairies in the 1930s, Sukanen responded by building a full-sized ship in his farmyard, hundreds of miles from the sea. The complete graphic novel, Dust-Ship Glory, is now available. Will is the Xeric Award-winning Canadian author and cartoonist behind the critically acclaimed mental health drama graphic novel, Look Straight Ahead. Reviews "I can find the spirit of these stories in Elaine Will’s Dust-Ship Glory. Desperation. Resourcefulness. Community. Hope." — Splashes and Speech Bubbles "Beautifully drawn and written, this is a wonderful character-driven story, as well as a commentary on mental illness and family." — Rogues Portal "I was drawn to it because it was such a strange story and there was something eerie and magical about it." – CBC News Saskatoon " Will’s stark black and white, pen and ink illustrations capture both the bleakness of the Saskatchewan landscape and personalities of the characters readers meet in the story." Recommended. – Canadian Materials " Will displays here the same mastery of comic storytelling that she showed us in Look Straight Ahead. Although it's a very different type of story, it's one that she tells expertly. Well worth picking up for her storytelling abilities, and you'll almost certainly learn a thing or two that you should have been, but weren't, taught in school as well. – Kleefeld on Comics " Clean and clear black and white graphics tell the tale of Tom building his ship while flashback sequences are wonderfully shaded with multi-toned ink wash." – First Comics News " The allegorical aspects of Will’s comic are universal, even as it’s tough to comprehend the horrors of the Depression and the drought in the Midwest (of both Canada and the United States). Dust-Ship Glory is a fascinating book, because Will doesn’t overdo the messages in it, just allows us to come to them slowly and organically. Give it a look!" – Atomic Junkshop " It goes to show that anything is possible, even building an ocean-going steamship in the middle of the parched prairies. Perhaps there’s hope yet for the dreamers." – Rocky Mountain Outlook " [A] compelling character study delivered by a supremely confident storyteller." – Broken Frontier " I am impressed with the volume, the quality and the detail of the artist’s work." – Prairie History Blog

Originally self published in 2013, Renegade welcomes Elaine to our roster of award winning graphic novel creators, with her breakout book Look Straight Ahead. Reviews “Will’s novel is deep, thought-provoking, and a delight for readers who enjoy introspective, character-driven stories that examine the meaning of reality and sanity.” — Library Journal “An early sequence of his drawing, which descends into [the character's] own visions, is both startlingly accomplished cartooning and a disturbing foreshadowing of what’s to come. [The artwork] makes his illusions seductively attractive.” — Publishers Weekly “Look Straight Ahead is the comic I didn’t know I couldn’t live without. It’s a gorgeous dreamscape inside a perfectly realized gut-level reality, I love it. You’ll love it. Read this book – you’ll be haunted, amused, and quite possibly brought to tears.” – Gail Simone “Elaine Will’s work is an undiscovered treasure. Her work manages to be both whimsical and emotive and ifs all anchored with an incredible sense of pacing and characterization. She’s a cartoonist to watch out for!” – Jeff Lemire (writer of Justice League United, writer/artist of Sweet Tooth, Underwater Welder and Trillium) “Will has a strong sense of character and an ear for authentic dialogue, making this an extremely readable and accessible work. It should be read by anyone who seeks to understand more about the debilitating effects of mental illness, especially on young people.” – Paula Jane Remlinger , Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission “I cannot praise enough Look Straight Ahead as a work of art. If you love coming-of-age stories as much as I do, you will want to read it. And if you are interested in mental illness, particularly bipolar, then Look Straight Ahead is a must-read.” – Fantasy Literature “ I was hooked from start to finish.” – Social Bookshelves “Will's pages stir and stun in their blur of off-kilter aesthetics, but they're ultimately drawing attention to her deft and worthwhile examination of a truly difficult subject matter.” – The Comics Journal “This is a very important and personal story. Honest and emotional, Look Straight Ahead shows how mental illness can affect people in different forms. It is not an instantaneous thing to either happen or recover from, and those who must face it need the support and understanding of others.” – The Sheaf “The familiarity of Will’s characterization imbues Look Straight Ahead with a distinctly human verisimilitude. Despite the metaphysical scope of his hallucinations, Jeremy’s struggles never venture beyond the relatable [...] Jeremy’s ultimate recovery confirms the restorative power of art and the inextricable link between creative and personal growth.” – Weird Canada “You need to read this book.” – What'cha Reading?

Monsterology Double Shot

Ofﬁcially, it's the Department of Cryptozoology, Mythological Studies, Parapsychology and Fortean Phenomena. But to the rest of the students and staff at the Dunsany College, bafﬂed by the cloak of secrecy that surrounds the Department and its affairs, it has another, more dismissive, name: The Department of Monsterology. Funded by the mysterious Hampton Foundation, the Dept. operates several ﬁeld teams that roam the globe on extended research expeditions. Their brief: to investigate the dark and unexplored corners of our world - the places we've forgotten, lost or believe to be mythical. And to study those things that may still be lurking there. Monsterology 101 introduces us to ancient monsters from the depths of the ocean, crystaline creatures from the caves of Eastern Europe, undead armies from the catacombs of Northern China, and the Department’s deadliest rivals of all... Sabbaticals picks up after the events of Monsterology 101, with several team members pursuing their own agendas following their near miss with apocalyptic catastrophe in China and the South Pacific. The Lamont Institute may have stumbled, but it takes more than death to stop their plans, and now they are aware of Samwi's potential, she has become their quarry. Professor Tovar's parasitic secret is leading him into the deep darkness, far from his colleagues, towards a fate that may have consequences far beyond ridding himself of his personal burden.Michael Calvary takes Team Challenger on a sojourn to sunny Scotland to investigate the apparently haunted house featured on the Sabbaticals cover, whilst the remaining members of Team Carnacki take two grad students to a remote South American island to discover there is a lot more than dinosaurs out to eat them. And of course, following Professor Booker's revelation in Monsterology 101, he's wasted no time getting started on his own personal quest through the now active portal. Both books are softcover, 128 colour pages each.

UNDERWORLD unites Lovern Kindzierski and GMB Chomichuk, two of Winnipeg's most successful creative minds for the first time, in a book that weaves a tale through the streets of their city, the mind of Hector and Homer's mythical epic.

Details Writer: Lovern Kindzierski Artist: GMB Chomichuk Letterer: Ed Brisson Editor: Alexander Finbow Hardcover 128 pages of myth, mystery and intrigue. Reviews "Both the art and writing compliment each other in profound ways, really hammering home a world that is blurred between fantasy and reality." - Kevin Skinner, Fox Force Five News "As much gritty noir-flavoured thriller as fantastic mythical escapade, Underworld overlays the classic poem’s thematic skeleton with a grimy modern visual skin of vice and violence which is chillingly authentic and masterfully evocative, but never forgets that at its core the story is about a fallen hero finding redemption through struggle…" - Win Wiacek, Comics Review "An amazing, if disturbing, experience – and experience is definitely the right word here. This isn’t just a comic, it’s a glimpse into insanity. I’m impressed, because I didn’t think comics (as much as I love them) could be quite so affecting. This is a story that will stay with me for quite some time, I’m sure of that." - Zoe Kirk Robinson, webcomics.com

Robbie Burns: Witch Hunter

Robbie Burns is one of the most well known and celebrated poets worldwide. However, little is ever written about the man's sideline career as one of Scotland's most renowned Witch Hunters. The story asks what if the events of the narrative poem Tam o' Shanter, Burns' most famous work, were actually based on something that happened to Burns himself... Burns takes the wrong road and ends up at a witches’ Sabbath. The hot-blooded poet is entranced by the dancing witches, but is saved from an eternity in hell by witch-hunters. So begins his witch-hunter training, as McKay and Meg struggle to keep him out of the clutches of demons, witches, and local farm girls. Details Written by Gordon Rennie and Emma Beeby Art by Tiernen Trevallion Lettering by Jim Campbell Edited by Alexander Finbow Reviews "Exceptional writing and fantastic art." - Rob Alexander, Rocky Mountain Outlook "A fast-paced work of frantic imagination." - David Pollock, list.co.uk " Out just in time for Robbie Burns Day, fans of the Scot’s work will enjoy the fresh imagining in comic book form." - Tim Alamenciak, Toronto Star " I absolutely adored every single moment of this lovingly put together comic. You know those teenagers who glaze over when you bring up poetry? This is the book to give them. Call it a Burns Night bonus." - Antony Esmond, Down the Tubes " Who doesn’t love a creative take on history? And the dialogue is quite witty, while the illustrations of the otherworldly creatures were as gruesome as they should be." - I've Read This "This is a book that readers can have a conversation about. It is a wonderful story on a variety of levels and is one that lovers of Scotland, poetry and witch-hunters can agree upon. A tale of supernatural adventure for sure, to make sure you remember Tam o’Shanter’s mare in the 21 st century. 5/5 stars." - John K. Kirk, Pop Mythology " Smart, action packed, skilfully suspenseful, uproariously funny, divinely irreverent and genuinely scary or sad by turn, Robbie Burns Witch Hunter is a gloriously compelling and truly mesmerising romp: a doom-laden, wisecracking rollicking love story no sensitive soul or jaded comics fan could possibly resist. It’s even educational too…" - Win Wiacek, Now Read This " Few comics can seek to rewrite history with such love and devotion as this latest tale by Gordon Rennie and Emma Beeby... If you’re looking for high-octane action with an historical twist, you can’t go wrong with this book. Rennie and Beeby have crafted a story that expertly mixes the fear of the supernatural in post-Witchcraft trials Scotland with one of Burns’ most-loved supernatural poems. Trevallion’s excellent, highly atmospheric artwork is the icing on the cake. Read it, you won’t be disappointed." - Zoe Kirk-Robinson, Web Comics " Robbie Burns: Witch Hunter is definitely something a bit different and recommended to those that like something besides superheroes in their sequential art or have an interest in history and culture." - Andy Haigh, Geek Pride

One of the best debut trades I’ve read in a long time. ...an exceptional book." - Zoe Kirk-Robinson, Web Comics " The scope and scale of this comic, in both the art and the story, is one of a kind [...] This is creative, imaginative and well-researched stuff." - Rob Alexander, Rocky Mountain Outlook " Irish artist P.J. Holden draws up a host of beasts in this four-part feature revolving around the global investigations of weirdness by Dunsany College's Department of Cryptozoology, Mythological Studies, Parapsychology and Fortean Phenomena.
