One of our biggest projects here at Renegade right now is Alan Grant's epic adventure of a family caught up in the conflict that helped to define both Canada and America into the nations they would become. With the Bicentenary fast approaching we'll be publishing several books to commemorate the events.
The 102 page comic book is being drawn by Cladue St. Aubin, coloured by Lovern Kindzerski and lettered by Todd Klein. It will also feature a 30 page summary of the war written by well known Canadian historical author Mark Zuehlke.
The Loxley's left America after the American war of Independence to start a new life in the Niagara region of Canada, only to find themselves thrust back into the madness of war when America declared war against Britain and the Canadas.
Adapted from Aurora Loxley's journals, the story follows teh family members involvement in the war and their challenges at home dealing with the chaos and violence of the time.
Both Claude and Lovern will be with us at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo this wekend, along with the books editor Alexander Finbow. We'll have pages from the book to show you, as well as a specially created promotional posters and stickers for sale.
Come and see us to find out more about this exciting book.
