Captain Poulet

A quirky piece of Bronze Age Canadiana, Captain Poulet made their debut in 1979 courtesy of cartoonist Bill Hinds in the pages of The Calgary Herald Comic Book — a regional gem that offered something refreshingly outside the mainstream Marvel and DC universe. Sharing those pages with the likes of Buck Rogers and a cast of memorable characters, Captain Poulet occupies a charming, offbeat corner of comics history that collectors of newspaper-affiliated and Canadian comics will find genuinely delightful. Rare by any measure with only three catalog appearances, this is exactly the kind of find that reminds you how wonderfully wide the world of comics truly is.
