A Visit with Richard Comely, Creator of Captain Canuck

Come meet the creator of the signature of the signature contemporary Canadian superhero, Captain Canuck. Ryan Edwardson called the Captain "more than a comic book relic, however; it is a cultural artifact, a key item in the construction of modern Canadian cultural identity and consciousness." Scholars are also discovering the religious dimensions of the Captain's story. Brigham Young University is hosting an exhibition in this, the 50th anniversary of the Captain's creation. https://universe.byu.edu/campus/library-exhibit-shows-the-power-of-sharing-the-gospel-through-superheroes Comely has also been an active creative in other media – children's books, film and video. He is the inventor of a crane for filmmaking. He is, in many ways, a polymathic creative, and he is here to share his story with you.
