True Patriot is a comic book anthology featuring Canadian superheroes written and drawn by some of your favourite Canadian comic book creators. Most of the folks working on this project grew up reading Alpha Flight, Captain Canuck, or Wolverine comics and have always thought that there should be more Canadian superheroes out there. So, they put together a 100-page, full-colour anthology for your reading pleasure (and ours) for only $25!
The Anthology includes contributions from Adrian Alphona (Runaways), Andy B. (Kill Shakespeare), J. Bone (Super Friends), Jack Briglio (Scooby Doo), Scott Chantler (Two Generals), Tom Fowler (Hulk: Season One), Agnes Garbowska (Girl Comics), Faith Erin Hicks (Adventure Time), Tim Levins (Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes), Ramon Perez (A Tale of Sand), Ron Salas (28 Days Later), Jay Stephens (Secret Saturdays), J. Torres (Teen Titans Go), Howard Wong (After the Cape).
Launch Party includes guests such as: Adrian Alphona, J. Bone, Ramon Perez, J. Torres, Jack Briglio, Howard Wong and Jay Stephens! We’ve also received art from Tom Fowler, Adam Gorham and Agnes Garbowska to display in the gallery.
Those of you who live in and around Toronto who ordered the book from Indiegogo may request to pick up your copy of True Patriot at the event. If you pick up your book, they unfortunately cannot refund your shipping, however, in exchange you’ll get a True Patriot postcard, (blank) book plate, plus you can get some creators to sign your book! If you’ve already paid for a book plate sketch, you can get an additional (blank) book plate or a True Patriot/Pacific Rim mash-up mini-poster. Ooh…
If you did not preorder it don’t fret because copies of TRUE PATRIOT will be available for sale at the Comic Book Lounge. The book costs $25.
Note: artists attending these events may or may not be doing sketches, but if so you’ll have to arrange pricing individually, and the money will go directly to them. They may also have other swag for sale (e.g. prints, original art, etc.).
