ABOUT BROK WINDSOR:
Illustrated by Canadian artist Jon Stables and beginning serialization in 1944 in the pages of Maple Leaf Comics’ “Better Comics”, Brok Windsor was a doctor who discovered a secret land called Chaqua hiding in the midst of the Canadian wilderness during a normal canoeing trip. Here he was infected by the island and grew to the size of a giant, matching the height of the residents, a futuristic aboriginal tribe cut off from the rest of society. He spent months in this land battling man-eating lions, giant rats, and more bizarre oddities with the aid of his new friend Torgon. He even found a girlfriend, the giantess Starra who returned with him to Canada after several adventures.
“Not only is Brok Windsor some of the best work to come out of the golden age of Canadian comics; it is some of the most gorgeous comic art of any time. Believe me… you want to this project happen. The world will be a more beautiful place for you, me and everyone who appreciates comic art.” -Robert Pincombe, writer and comic historian
