## Description

This action filled graphic novel tells about a time in the future when our two great countries, Canada and the United States, have amalgamated and there is a growing discontent. Young adults are being conscripted to fight in the Cent-Am wars while a groundswell of rebellion is building. The rebels want to return to a time when the policies of the government represented the best interests of the people, not the best interests of those who govern. The USNA was created to combat this threat and they operate on the fringes of the law. Their mission is simple: locate and eliminate any rebel activity using deadly force if necessary. This is the story of the people's continuing fight against tyranny as it spreads to Chicago, San Francisco, and St. Louis.

## Description

At the end of 2019, I decided to write and illustrate my own book!! Little did I know the world would collapse onto itself in 2020. Thus begin the hardest project of my life. This is the result.

"A bomb detonated in the Fiji Islands in the year 2000 took 20 years to explode, releasing bad vibes the entire time.

No one survived the eventual explosion except for four Millennials who find themselves bodiless and trapped in a floating art gallery maintained by a Multi-Operational Mega Intelligence (M.O.M.I.).

The Millennium Bomb is an abstract comedy that cuts to the core of modern living. Nostalgia and comfort clash with the desire for growth and experience as the Millennials try to discover who they really are."

Shay’s Beaver Damn is set in the rugged wilderness of 1820’s Canada where the fur trapper was the epitome of the adventurer. The first book featured three concurrent plot elements and these threads continue to intertwine in Issue #2. Baba Yaga from Slavic myth appears to be involved as a mysterious, and possibly mythical, parasite infects the wilderness creatures turning them into rabid killers. But in Issue 2 some of the fur trappers become infected and hunger for blood. Watching the parasitic tendrils reach out to consume the mind of the upcoming host is an image you won’t soon forget.[1]

## Description

In September of 2015, a biological terrorist attack was launched against the city of New York killing hundreds. Those who could afford to, left the city shortly after. In order to prevent another attack, the island of Manhattan was cut off from the rest of the city, and to a large extent, the country. Martial Law was declared in the city and troops were used to patrol the streets. The city’s outer boroughs were left to rot.

Later, a group called “Isis” was found to be behind the attack.

In November, during the hysteria and paranoia gripping the country after the attack, an ultra-Conservative candidate named Andrew Boyko won the Presidential election by vowing revenge for those killed in the attack and to protect the people at any cost. Shortly after he was inaugurated, President Boyko declared Martial Law across the country, named himself President-for-Life, shredded the Constitution and disbanded Congress.

The draft was reinstated and thousands of American troops streamed into Iraq. As retaliation, in June 2018 a nuclear bomb was detonated in Washington, D.C. by Isis backed terrorists, wiping out the vast majority of the city. The President survived, enlarging his image in the public eye. Shortly after, the city is abandoned and Staten Island is cleared to make way for a new capital.

The war quickly spread across the entire Middle East with Iraq, Syria, Libya and Lebanon territories and other Islamic countries allied against the United States-led N.A.T.O. nations. For the next thirty years the United States is in a constant state of war. While at home- with all able-bodied young people being sent overseas and most of our national resources being used for the war- the economy sinks into depression.

Crime spikes severely. Programs for the sick and poor are gutted to pay for the war. The United States is cut off from Middle East; oil and gas prices soar, further crippling the country. A black market for oil, along with other every day items springs up-run by smugglers and organized crime. A very small amount of people become exceedingly wealthy, able to profit off the war effort, while the rest of the country is left to starve. Education is replaced with propaganda and political indoctrination. Schools fall into disrepair and eventually the country ends up an illiterate, mindless mass bent on consumption and fame-seeking.

Intellectuals, artists and teachers began to protest against the war. They were quickly rounded up, arrested and thrown into detention centers where they were held indefinitely without charge or trial, thanks to President Boyko’s new secret police force and his constant use of surveillance on the American people. Resisters and rebels begin operating in secret.

The Twilight Detective Agency will take on any case, anonymously. The reason for this is that the proprietors, Mr. Riverdale and Mr. Hawkstone, are not human. They are Gargoyles, moving behind the scenes of humanity to solve mysteries and protect the human race…for a price.

Riverdale and Hawkstone find themselves embroiled in a robbery at the museum which has resulted in the death of a security guard. The item taken was a mysterious book, apparently containing rituals able to summon the dead back to earth. They need to find the book before the ritual is enacted…but can the mage helping them track it down be trusted?

## Description

When an off-putting store clerk gives her grief over two cents, Penny Steele stands her ground and insists the total she's paying for her purchase is correct.

Before long, Penny slams her money on the counter and starts to leave while the clerk objects and threatens to call the police, but an armed hold-up by a small-time crook calling himself 'The Hammer' prevents him from making the call.

On her way out the door, Penny overhears the trouble brewing behind her, ducks back inside to stay out of sight and quickly comes up with a plan to stop The Hammer and settle her argument with the clerk at the same time.

Penny Steele is one tough customer who doesn't back down from a fight, but always does what's right!

Nominated for the 2016 Gene Day Award at The Joe Shuster Awards

## Description

The Deliverer is a satirical post-apocalyptic action graphic novel. It takes place in Vancouver, BC, in the remnants of a narcissistic society, where survivors are force-fed on tabloid journalism and in perpetual entertainment overload.

This original story introduces a regular guy – a pizza deliverer – who will be sent in a quest to rediscover his humanity. Along his uncertain journey, our faceless but all too human hero will have to overcome, many outrageous obstacles placed in his way by the vestiges of this dying society.

The Deliverer is a uniquely Canadian – to be more precise, Vancouverite – graphic novel. It doesn’t try to mimic the well-established North American routine of super heroism and patriotism but instead develops a style and a tone of its own. It is safe to say that it offers a voice that won’t let you indifferent.

Indeed, with more than a hint of black humor, this adventure mocks most of our social and cultural values (from Royalty to politics, to sport fanatics…), ridicules machismo and other tragic signs of human stupidity. To cut it short, hypocrisy is a prime target!

The Joe Shuster Awards

Established in 2004, The Joe Shuster Awards are Canada’s national award recognizing outstanding achievement in the creation of comic books, graphic novels and webcomics. The awards are named after pioneering Toronto-born artist Joe Shuster who, along with writer Jerry Siegel, created the iconic super-powered hero, Superman. The name is used with the approval of the Estate of Joe Shuster – Michael Catron, Estate Agent.

Canada has a rich tradition of supporting our national arts communities with awards that recognize the achievements of our citizens like the Genie Awards for film and television and the Juno Awards for music –in 2004, a group of individuals gathered to establish the Canadian Comic Book Creator Awards Association, a not-for-profit organization that would coordinate and present what would eventually become known as the JOE SHUSTER AWARDS, Canada’s national award that honours and raises the awareness of Canadians that create, publish and sell comics, graphic novels and webcomics.

They are named after pioneering Canadian-born artist Joe Shuster (1914-1992), whose clear, dynamic style and inventive visual flourishes set the standard for graphic storytelling during the infancy of the North American comic book industry. It was Superman, a co-creation of Shuster and Jerry Siegel, that electrified the industry in 1938 and, almost overnight, transformed comic books into an enormous pop-cultural phenomenon. The name is used with the approval of the Estate of Joe Shuster (Michael Catron, Estate Agent. Special thanks must go those people that supported the efforts of the Association at it’s beginning, such as Joe’s sister Jean Shuster-Peavy, and legendary comics creators like Jerry Robinson, Neal Adams and Dave Sim.

Comics are a collaborative medium, there are writers, artists, cover artists, letterers, editors and publishers. Some individuals wear many hats, and for that reason Cartoonists, also referred to as writer/artists are given their own category. The “core” creative Joe Shuster Awards consist of Cartoonist (writer/artist), Artist, Writer, Colourist, Cover Artist and Publisher for works that were professional distributed during the previous calendar year. With the rise of webcomics as a popular medium, those that create them are honoured in the award category of Outstanding Webcomics Creator/Creative Team.

From time to time, the awards may choose to retire or put on hiatus certain categories with the exception of Writer, Artist and Cartoonist.

The awards were chosen initially by public vote, but the process changed in 2007 to jury decision to ensure every nominee is given adequate consideration.

**THE GENE DAY SELF-PUBLISHER AWARD**

Named after the late comics artist and self-publisher Gene Day (1951-1982), this award honours Canadian comic book creators or creative teams who self-published their work, but did not have the books distributed by a third party distributor. The nominees are selected from publications submitted for review from across Canada. Please see the page for details on where to send your submissions.
