It's like a 19th century version of Deliverance.
There was a brief time when I thought I might try to track down all of Don McGregor's stuff, around the same time I was really discovering Steve Gerber's work. I did do some work in finding his works, but they didn't speak to me the same way Mr. Gerber's did. In some cases it was genre, in others simply that I'm not a huge fan of his chosen way of telling comics stories. The predominance of caption boxes is just not my thing. I'm more interested in elucidation through context, rather than exposition. Mr. McGregor sees comics a bit differently.
This is a very bloody comic. There's a poor beaver that spends its entire existence in the story gnawing its leg off to escape a trap. And Zorro has to take out a giant, crazed mountain man.
Now that I've written it, perhaps Zorro wandered into Alberta.
More to come...

Hi tom! I gave you a quick list of stuff at your panel (great talk!) but I just couldnt recall the names of some stuff I really wanted to mention.
Basically, just check out this list:
https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=5522562011
Some notable queer entries: Bingo Love (a more indie-side Image lesbian romance publication spanning over 60 years in the characters lives), The Pervert (excellent, abt trans survival sex work and trauma as mentioned earlier), My Solo Exchange Diary (a sequel to My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness, pretty great), and Secret Love of Geeks (an anthology of fairly popular authors? haven't heard much about it actually)
Also, Crawl Space looks like something you might be interested in just based on the cover, but I haven't read it.
Lastly, not to dump a ton of recommendations on you, but Wandering Son is the first anime (and probably one of the few manga) to seriously grapple with the inner lives of trans characters. for more japanese stuff maybe check out https://www.animefeminist.com/ (as funny as the name sounds its pretty good)
Best,
Val
