CAPTAIN CANUCK RELATED SITES

www.CaptainCanuck.com
The official site by Richard Comely.

Captain Canuck Unholy War
The official site for the "West Coast" Captain Canuck.

Captain Canuck: An American Tribute
A nicely done, well laid out site dedicated to C.C. from a fan South of the 49th parallel. Check it out.

There's more Captain Canuck stuff down in some of my links to sites dedicated to Canadian comics in general.


OTHER CHARACTER RELATED SITES
Usually with some sort of significant reviews section

Doom Patrol
"The World's Strangest Heroes" -- this site has a reasonably comprehensive issue guide/review of the original run (it peters out shortly into the triple digits), as well as a less comprehensive one to the more recent incarnations -- which is O.K., 'cause from what (little) I've seen, the '60s version was pretty funky.  Don't let James Robinson and Dave Gibbons Gawdawful "homage" to the original series in the 1998 Legends of the DC Universe 80 Page Giant fool you.

Rome's Emerald Universe
A cool-looking Green Lantern site (by a guy named Rome), focusing principally on Hal Jordan -- the Silver Age GL.

The Shazam Page
A nice site dedicated to the original Captain Marvel, including an (incomplete) issue guide to the Power of Shazam series, and links to other Marvel Family sites.

Superman Homepage!
A Superman site neatly broken up into sections on Supes' life in movies, radio, etc. Has a reviews section covering the comics and graphic novels.

The Unofficial Comics Crossover Index
A nice site listing all those pesky crossover epics that comic companies like to indulge in, complete with synopsis, listing of issues involved, credits, and reviews.

The Wonder Woman Pages
A pretty comprehensive site with a section of (brief) reviews of Elseworld graphic novels featuring everyone's favourite Amazon. However, call me cyber-inept, but I find it a bit hard to navigate this site. Check out the title page (linked above) first...but, if you can't find the Elseworlds section, try going directly to The Wonder
Woman Pages nifty Search Engine.

GENERAL COMIC SITES

PopCultureShock / Buzzscope
It's Baaaack! Reviews of Comics, Music, Movies, Video Games and Anime

Unca Cheeks, the Toy Wonder, Silver Age Comics Site
Encyclopedic and extensive look at Marvel, DC and more -- indexed by characters, with essays. Pretty cool.

The Art of Don Newton
A tribute to the late, great artists of Batman, Shazam, The Phantom and more.

The TM Maple Memorial Page
Even fandom has its heroes -- and TM Maple was a familiar letter writer in the letters pages of comics throughout the '70s and '80s and was known, not just for his prolificness, but for his thoughtful, well-reasoned comments. Some of his letters are reproduced on this site.

Manga and More
A site with a various interests (manga, bowling) but also a section of Trade Paperback Reviews.

Comic Book Resources banner
More or less the comic book site on the web, with news bits, on-line polls...and quite possibly the most extensive collection of links ever (all neatly indexed).

Comic Sites Alliance
Lots of links and stuff.

The History of Superhero Comics
Pretty much what it says.  A good, easily digestible site for fans and amateur scholars.

Women in Refrigerators
Food for thought time: a provocative site that asks some of the questions about comic books we've all been thinking, but were afraid to articulate -- specifically women characters and their unusually high mortality rate.  Check it out...then ponder.


Leanne Marie Richer's Web Comix with pages on various mainstream characters, fan art, commentaries, etc.




Pulp and Dagger Webzine
Original on-line fiction...free. The pulp days live again with two-fisted adventures, sword & sorcery, and costumed superheroes. What more could you ask for?

The Great Canadian Guide to the Movies and TV
What it says. Really.

The Cimmerian Collection
Reviews of the writings of Robert E. Howard -- Conan, Kullm Solomon Kane, etc.

Kingdom Kong
A site dedicated to King Kong...especially the 1976 version.



A GROWING LIST OF CANADIAN COMIC BOOK RELATED SITES

Beyond the Funnies
A thorough, comprehensive site about the history of Canadian comics, French, English, super heroes, non-super heroes, with -- believe it or not -- actual downloadable samples of rare 1940s Canadian comics. Wow!

We Stand on Guard for Thee: Canadian Comic Book Heroes
An unofficial site dedicated to the history of Canadian comic books, with info, rare cover scans, and even including a listing of Canadian comic pros in the U.S. biz (is Marty Pasko really Canadian? I didn't know that!). It's about time somebody on the web did this.

Mark Shainblum's Homepage
The homepage of the creator of Northguard, Fleur de Lyse, and Angloman, as well as a being a freelance writer and editor.

Sandy Carruthers
Artist web-page of the guy who's worked on Men in Black, Captain Canuck and others...including an on-line comic by him, Mark Shainblum and Jeff Alyward, about a super-heroine...Canadiana!

The homepage of Canadian comic book artist Scott Dutton with samples of his pro work, ways to order his independently produced comic, and a section about the Star Trek episode Assignment: Earth.

Tomorrow's super hero superstar? Could be.

Andy's Comic Book Page
A site with some nice info on Canadian comics books and Canadian characters in American comics (in his Marvel and DC sections).
