Moving on from Star Comics, we're going to have a week or so of Canadian comics, some indie, some self-published, all Canuck-y.
I have the graphic novel, or a graphic novel, of this series kicking about somewhere (boxed and ready to move at this point), and I'm going to have to drag it out when we get to our new house. This series combines historical figures as focal characters (a device I really love) with Wonderland (another of my obsessions) and Flatland (a wonderful book), all the while giving some interesting lessons on mathematics. What else could I ask for?
That said, it's the third issue of the series, so I'm not 100% sure who everyone was, what their relationships are, and why they're all together in something called "All-Time." Hopefully the GN will explain.
The comic was produced by a couple of people from here in Alberta, Priddis, Alberta to be specific. I see the series in back issue bins around the city, but I don't know if it's still a going concern. Hopefully, at least, this story about a war between Wonderland and Flatland gets to be concluded, because I'd love to see it.
"You see, in Flatland a male can be anything from an isosceles triangle to any regular polygon."
