Off Panel: A History of Newfoundland Comix
Newfoundland has a rich storytelling tradition, one that translates easily into the visual medium of comics. For years, the history of underground comix and visual art has gone untold... until now! Journalist Elizabeth Whitten uncovers the hidden depths of Newfoundland's comix scene, featuring creatives like Wallace Ryan (Toxic!), Paul Tucker (Image's Stringer), Andrew Hawthorn (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Kelly Bastow (Quirk Books' Manfried the Man) and many more!
“In Off Panel, [Elizabeth Whitten] sketches the colourful local media landscape that made their work possible: NTV, The Muse, The Scope, Newfoundland Quarterly, and that all-important downtown institution known as The Ship Inn. The result is a snappy contribution to local pop culture history.” - Drew Brown, former Editor-in-Chief, The Independent
“Whitten has written an indispensable account of an underappreciated art form that should be up there with writing, music, and political dysfunction for things Newfoundland and Labrador punches above its weight in.” - Morgan Murray, author of Dirty Birds
“Intimate, compelling, and vibrant: Off Panel is a fascinating look at the depth and breadth of a remarkable creative community.” - Ryan North, author of Adventure Time and The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
