Thrilling adventures of Canadian superheroes... and villains! 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. Mexican luchadores wrestle primordial evil in Vancouver ... The Intrepids battle Nazis in Nova Scotia ... A mysterious masked man rescues an adventuring heiress in a steampunk Gold Rush-era Yukon ... Zombies and ancient Viking magic are unleashed in downtown Toronto ... A godlike oracle wanders Calgary with her cyborg handler ... The fearsome Iron Shadow stalks the streets of Kingstonia ... The Coachwhip and Cat-Girl fight crime in lurid wartime Montreal ... In these 24 tales Canada's most daring writers reimagine the super genre from its outer limits to its pulp origins, exploring the diverse landscape of Canadian identity and geography. With stories by: Marie Bilodeau Chantal Boudreau Kristi Charish E.L. Chen Michael S. Chong Kevin Cockle Emma Faraday Patrick T. Goddard Alyxandra Harvey David Nickle Silvia Moreno-Garcia D.K. Latta Michael Matheson Derryl Murphy Jonathan Olfert Rhonda & Jonathan Parrish David Perlmutter Lisa Poh Jason S. Ridler Rhea Rose Mike Rimar Jason Sharp Emma Vossen A.C. Wise Featuring an Introduction by Mark Shainblum, creator of Northguard. Editors: Claude Lalumiere & Camille Alexa
