Canadian Whites are World War II-era comic books published in Canada that feature colour covers with black-and-white interiors.
Notable characters include Nelvana of the Northern Lights,[a] Johnny Canuck, Brok Windsor, and Canada Jack.
Later, two other Toronto-based publishers joined in: Hillborough Studios that August, and Bell Features (originally Commercial Signs of Canada[5]) in September.
