## Team Description

A team of four heroes from Kingston, Ontario who are not students at Queen's University but still lend a hand in keeping the Kingston area safe. Not nearly as well regarded by the community as Gael Force is. They may not be the best at what they do but their hearts are in the right place. Their diverse backgrounds are helpful in many situations.

Their home base is a hollow windmill on Corn Cob's family farm on Wolfe Island. It is a cozy place to hang when they have free time from their usual lives.

Iron RingCorn CobButtonsTallboyMs. Muffin
### Iron Ring

An alumni of Queen's Engineering who still makes him home in Kingston. Having the ability to turn his skin to steel and increase his strength to more than even Pecs of Gael Force, Iron ring is a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately when in his steel form his movements are slowed down considerably and he is vulnerable to rusting from water. Named after the engineering tradition of the iron ring.

### Corn Cob and Buttons

A simple farm girl from Wolfe Island, Corn Cob is both sweet and fierce. This beauty was granted amazing abilities by a magical corn spirit she encountered one day in her field. The corn spirit gave her the ability to manipulate corn to her will. She can launch exploding corn cobs and ride on a cloud of pop corn. Limited only by her imagination which unfortunately is quite simple. Her odd personality make her difficult to work with but she is a valuable member of the team.

 Buttons is Corn Cob's sidekick. He is a cute companion with a dark past which is revealed in issue 3. While he can't speak or help in combat, he is so cute that she keeps him with her at all times.

### Tallboy

*first of his name, the Unbeaten, king of the Alfie's and the frosh men, Top Bro of the Great Ghetto, breaker of Kegstands and father of Heineken Hammers.*

A drunken fool, Tallboy is the patron saint of house parties. He has never lost a drinking game and parties longer than anyone else. He sleeps for much of the day. His super ability is his dramatic increase in strength and speed when drunk. Unfortunately he still suffers from typical loss of vision and balance when highly intoxicated. Tallboy is a Queen's dropout but still hangs around the university district to continue to party. He affords his alcohol because he got lucky in the stock market while he was still a commerce student.

### Miss Muffin

This sweet lady runs a bakery on Wolfe Island. After hearing about Corn Cob's miraculous gifts she encouraged her to use her powers for good which led to Corn Cob finding the rest of the Wolfe Pack and forming a team.

Miss Muffin's special ability is the magical sweets she can bake. They have strange properties which may be useful depending on the situation. She also keeps the group organized and focused when they need to be.

Available on Amazon.ca

## Description

* *Nelvana of the Northern Lights* returns from the lost pages of Adrian Dingle’s *Triumph Comics*! Nelvana was one of the world’s very first superheroines, predating Wonder Woman by several months, and is among the ranks of the first Canadian superheroes to emerge after Canada placed an embargo on US luxury goods during WWII. First appearing in 1941, Nelvana was tasked with protecting Canada’s northern lands. Using the powers of the northern lights, Nelvana could fly at incredibly fast speeds, become invisible, and even turn into dry ice! She used her great powers to ward off Nazi invaders, shady fur traders, subterranean mammoth men, and interdimensional ether people.
* For the first time since her story ended in 1947, Nelvana’s complete adventures have been collected and reprinted in one single volume, with over 320-pages of artwork by her creator Adrian Dingle. Also featured is an Introduction by editors Hope Nicholson and Rachel Richey, and a Foreword/Afterword by Dr. Benjamin Woo and Michael Hirsh.
* Nelvana of the Northern Lights is Canada's **first**superheroine and one of the most popular creations of the Canadian Golden Age of comics. YES! Canada has a golden age of comics!

She was first published in December 1941 in Triumph-Adventure Comics, and ran as a feature for 31 issues, even having her own merchandise and graphic novel. She's one of the very first female superheroes ever created, predating Wonder Woman by several months.

Nelvana of the Northern Lights was created and developed by Adrian Dingle. The idea was conceived after hearing Inuit stories of a mysterious goddess-like figure relayed to him by his friend Franz Johnston (of the Group of Seven). Dingle decided to 'make her into a doll in a miniskirt' and thus Nelvana, defender of the Northern people and enemy to the Axis powers, was born.

After creating several comic book characters in the 1940s and becoming the art director of Bell Features, Canada's largest comic book publisher, Adrian Dingle went on to become an accomplished and recognized talent in Canadian fine-art.

Chapter One: King of the Red Tide

Five thousand years ago, the god of death fell into the Candlelight Sea.

The islands were littered with his bones and the waters became a haunted wasteland – the final resting place of a swarm of hungry ghosts. Those few who survived the cataclysm now cower behind the glow of sacred lighthouses, fearing the deadly oceans beyond.

When the spirit of an ill-fated princess arrives on the other side of the horizon line, she risks her soul for a chance to live again. Her opponent: the vile remains of the fallen death god himself - a formless, parasitic, devilish blight known as the Red Tide King.

A beautifully illustrated and poignant graphic memoir that tells the story of World War II from an Everyman's perspective.

In March of 1943, Scott Chantler's grandfather, Law Chantler, shipped out across the Atlantic for active service with the Highland Light Infantry of Canada, along with his best friend, Jack, a fellow officer. Not long afterward, they would find themselves making a rocky crossing of the English Channel, about to take part in one of the most pivotal and treacherous military operations of World War II: the Allied invasion of Normandy. **Two Generals** tells the story of what happened there through the eyes of these two young men -- not the celebrated military commanders or politicians we often hear about, but everyday heroes who risked their lives for the Allied cause. Meticulously researched and gorgeously illustrated, **Two Generals** is a harrowing story of battle and a touching story of friendship -- and a vital and vibrant record of unsung heroism.

## Description

*Secret Path* is a ten song digital download album by Gord Downie with a graphic novel by illustrator Jeff Lemire that tells the story of Chanie “Charlie” Wenjack, a twelve-year-old boy who died in flight from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School fifty years ago.

Chanie, misnamed Charlie by his teachers, was a young boy who died on October 22, 1966, walking the railroad tracks, trying to escape from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School to return home. Chanie’s home was 400 miles away. He didn’t know that. He didn’t know where it was, nor how to find it, but, like so many kids—more than anyone will be able to imagine—he tried.

Chanie’s story is Canada’s story. We are not the country we thought we were. History will be re-written. We are all accountable. *Secret Path* acknowledges a dark part of Canada’s history—the long suppressed mistreatment of Indigenous children and families by the residential school system—with the hope of starting our country on a road to reconciliation. Every year as we remember Chanie Wenjack, the hope for *Secret Path* is that it educates all Canadians young and old on this omitted part of our history, urging our entire nation to play an active role in the preservation of Indigenous lives and culture in Canada.

The next hundred years are going to be painful as we come to know Chanie Wenjack and thousands like him—as we find out about ourselves, about all of us—but only when we do can we truly call ourselves, “Canada.”

Proceeds from *Secret Path*will be donated to The Gord Downie Secret Path Fund for Truth and Reconciliation via The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) at The University of Manitoba.

## Description

*Rising Sand* is a fantasy adventure that tells the story of Dal, a precocious runaway who learns that the sun itself is falling out of the sky, and that civilization has little time to prepare for—or perhaps avoid—the end. To make matters worse, Dal's zealous paladin sister Ro is hot on her tail, determined to drag her back to the life she left behind. Braving perilous ruins and murderous cultists, Dal will find her place in the world, even if it kills her. And everyone else.

*Rising Sand* is an award-winning, meticulously illustrated story that presents ubiquitous human anxieties such as finding our tribe, sacrificing our happiness for the ones we love, climate change, and the acceptance of death through the lens of a light-hearted—and sometimes gut-wrenching—pre-post-apocalyptic world on the edge of its own extinction. A blend of science fiction, high fantasy, and even slice of life makes *Rising Sand* a rich and rousing adventure for readers of all ages, provided they can squint through the occasional exploding head.

## Description

Lauren Greene and her mother, Patty, have a huge disagreement over the future of a self-aware AI that her mom saved from a lab and sheltered from its war-mongering creators. Angry at her mother's stubbornness and terrified of the world they're suddenly involved in, Lauren storms out only to be kidnapped by Jeremy Hamilton, the powerful man who invented the AI. Later that night, in trade for Lauren's freedom, Patty surrenders herself and the AI machine to Hamilton.

Freed by Hamilton's goons and assured that her mother is safe and will be released the next day, Lauren returns home to wait. But later that night, she learns, to her horror, that Patty has been suddenly hospitalized in critical condition and the AI is missing. Since the AI has protected her mother in the past, Lauren races against time to find it, hoping that it can save Patty yet again. As she searches frantically, and with her world turned upside down, Lauren must confront an old enemy, dodge new ones, and find the AI, which might not want to be found...before it's too late for everyone.

WOLF'S HEAD is part action-adventure, part drama, featuring strong women of color in the real world. Written and illustrated by Canadian cartoonist Von Allan (the road to god knows..., Stargazer, and Metal Gods), WOLF'S HEAD will excite readers of all ages.

## Description

This action filled graphic novel takes place sometime 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. Family farms are disappearing, replaced by prison farms. Food shortages are a result of climate change. There is now a groundswell of rebellion. 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. Within the government of USNA, the Strategic Home Alliance Defense Organization (SHADO) 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 the rebellion spreads to New Mexico and Texas.

Set in a not-too-distant and all-too-possible future, OUR WAR tells the story of what measures ordinary people will take to maintain a semblance of normality in chaotic times. It begs the questions: how would we fair when increasing uncertainty breeds unrelenting fear? When the thin veil of civility is replaced by the ravenous desire for survival? Through financial collapse, political polarization, widespread violence, and the abandonment of law and order, OUR WAR explores what happens when the ordinary and mundane is replaced by the vicious and unpredictable.
