CAPTAIN CANUCK'S UNHOLY WAR RAGES ON

Canada's superhero returns to battle organized crime on the west coast in Captain Canuck: Unholy War #4 this August.

The series continues the adventures of the character debuted by Richard Comely in 1975.

Captain Canuck: Unholy War tells the story of RCMP constable David Semple, who dons the guise of Captain Canuck to take down an elaborate crime ring run by the Unholy Avengers biker gang. The first three issues of Unholy War were released in 2004 and 2005. Though the three issues told a complete story, brother team Drue and Riel Langlois felt there were important story elements they needed to deal with.

"The third issue ended with crime boss Mr. Gold putting a million-dollar bounty on Canuck's head," Riel Langlois explains. "#4 picks up with numerous adversaries attacking him for a shot at the reward." As in previous issues, this new installment will be drawn by fine artist Drue Langlois and written by his brother Riel.

Riel Langlois promises there are "special features" that he and editor/creator Richard Comely have put in place for the fans, including "cameos of Captain Canuck characters from all the series," Langlois says. "Plus, we deal with an unresolved dilemma from the 1975 series."

In the original series, Captain Canuck became stranded back in time - a storyline that has been left unresolved since the first series ended in 1981. Two new secret identities for Captain Canuck were introduced in 1993 and 2004, but the original Tom Evans remained time-bounced.

Bringing the new book to comic shops is Diamond Comic Distributors, the largest distributor of comic books in the world. "Diamond is carrying it with a blurb that the Captain Canuck in Unholy War 'makes a decision that will alter the Captain Canuck universe forever' - and that's a perfect summation."

Those interested in reserving a copy of Captain Canuck: Unholy War #4 at their local comic shop can do so before June 16th. The book's Diamond item code is JUN073380.

A five-page preview of the book can be found at www.captaincanuckunholywar.com.

The publishing schedule for issues 2, 3, and 4 of the Captain Canuck Legacy series will be announced soon at www.captaincanuck.com
