Captain Canuck

In 2012 Richard Comely entered into a partnership with Toronto businessman, Fadi Hakim to relaunch a new, updated and modern version of Captain Canuck, which was designed in part by Kalman Andrasofszky (Marvel Comics).

The story followed Tom Evans, a Canadian secret agent who gained superhuman strength from contact with extraterrestrials.

The completed issue #15 (written and pencilled by George Freeman and inked, lettered and coloured by Claude St. Aubin) was finally published in 2004 as a limited edition by Comely.

Since the original, two newer incarnations of the Canadian icon have appeared: Comely launched a second version in 1993, under the imprint Semple Comics.

This title lasted only four issues (#0–3) and was written and drawn by Richard Comely, Leonard Kirk and Sandy Carruthers with inks by Éric Thériault.

Yet another man, RCMP Constable David Semple, adopts the guise of Captain Canuck, to take on a biker gang called the Unholy Avengers.

"Unholy War" was slated as a three-issue mini-series, the third and final installment being published in January 2005, but the series came out with a fourth issue (under the 'Hot Hail Comics' banner) in August 2007, which fully concluded the character.

Captain Canuck Legacy 1.5 was published in August 2011 as a limited edition of 5,000 copies only distributed in Ontario.

In 2015, a Captain Canuck #0 issue was released on Free Comic Book Day,[9] which is the first Saturday of May each year.

[11] The following year, Mind's Eye revealed that it had selected Vancouver-based screenwriter Arne Olsen to script the feature.

Several other actors voiced roles in the series including Tatiana Maslany as Redcoat[14] and Laura Vandervoort as Blue Fox.
