Who is Captain Canuck, you ask? Captain Canuck was a Canadian comic book published in the mid-'70s and the early '80s. A mixture of superhero, James Bond-like espionage, and science fiction, the series was about a costumed hero/government agent who battled evil throughout Canada, the world, and beyond, in what was then the future (the 1990s). Not the most successful of comic books, it's true, but the character has achieved a certain cult status, with an audience recognition that outstrips the short run -- including outside Canada, such as in the U.S. In 1993, the character had a short-lived relaunch, changing everything but the costume, and once again in 2004; there's info about them on this site, too (primarily in the "Other Captains" page), but this web page is primarily devoted to the one, the original, CAPTAIN CANUCK.

With that being said, there seems to be a lot of activity, and rumoured activity, involving the various versions of the character, including the original, these days and in the months to come. So I'll try and keep this site up to date in that regard (for now, keep an eye on my "Other Captains" page for news).

What are you're old Captain Canuck comics worth these days? That question seems to come up a lot. Click here for my page about the value of old comics.
