Melanie Marttila is super excited to reveal the cover and table of contents for the forthcoming SuperCanucks: An anthology of Canadian small-town superheroes, edited by Andy Taylor and Matthew Del Papa, to be published March 21, 2026, by Latitude 46 Publishing!

SuperCanucks features eleven stories that explore the usual superhero tropes while shining a spotlight on the unique corners of Canada. Not your typical big city superhero, but those who live in and around Canada’s more often overlooked locales—isolated small towns and rural outposts. These heroes battle unique Canadian dangers, including government bureaucracy and the overreaching neighbours in the south.

 

Featuring stories by: Pauline Barnby, Dwain Campbell, Matthew Del Papa, Matthew Heiti, Casey Lawrence, Melanie Marttila, Premee Mohamed, Christopher O'Halloran, Jim Robb, Niall Spain, and Andy Taylor.
