Captain Canuck is back! I remember picking up the first CC comic way, way back in 1975. It's in a box someplace and hard to find, but I remember it as being pretty cool, with quite vivid coloring for the times. An interesting change of pace from the DC and Marvel titles I was reading like mad at the time.
