One of the first female superheroes! Nelvana is a great character, but like many other comics of the WWII age, it can feel pretty dated, and the portrayals of the Eskimos (though mostly positive) and the Japanese (very negative) both veered toward racist caricatures. Still, there's a lot to learn from the history of comics, and this was neat piece. Very glad I backed the Kickstarter to get this book produced.
