Wow Comics

Published by Bell Features from 1941 to 1946, Wow Comics ran for 30 issues as a lively Canadian "Whites" anthology, created under wartime restrictions that banned American imports. The series is most closely associated with the talents of Edmund Legault, Adrian Dingle, and Jerry Lazare as writers, while Legault, Dingle, and Murray Karn anchored the artwork. It stands as a key artifact of the Golden Age Canadian comic book industry, showcasing homegrown heroes and adventure strips that entertained a nation cut off from U.S. publishers.
