Nova graphica : a graphic anthology of Nova Scotia history
More than the stereotypes of lobsters and fiddles, Canada's "ocean playground" of Nova Scotia boasts a vibrant history of ghost stories, folklore, industry, politics, and vibrant Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ and immigrant communities. Home, or formerly home, to some of Canada's biggest names in comics over the past decades, this anthology brings together artists who have called the province home, making Nova Scotia's history come to life through a collection of graphic stories that are spooky, funny, and thought-provoking.
