Hellberta

Toronto-based zine and printmaker Michael Comeau’s Hellberta sees Canadian comics icon Wolverine return to his homeland of Alberta to face his greatest foe: Prime Minister Stephen Harper! Weapon X is recast as a messianic mutant out to revenge the destruction and ravaging of his home and native land. This satirical pastiche of politics, religion, comics, and exploitation films—in the rich Canadian tradition of Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS—is a trenchant, and oftentimes hysterical, look at the current Canadian political landscape. Screen-printed in red and black on bright yellow paper stock and released in a limited edition of 300, Hellberta is a lysergic combination of Claremont, Canadiana, and iconoclasm that is like nothing you have ever seen!
