Shoe

A rare slice of Bronze Age Canadiana, Shoe made their debut in The Calgary Herald Comic Book #49 in 1979, brought to life by creator Bill Hinds in a publication that stands apart from the major American publishers of the era. Sharing pages with the likes of Buck Rogers and Wilma Deering, this character exists in genuinely eclectic company, nestled within a regional anthology that captured a unique moment in comics history. With only five catalog appearances across a short 1979–1980 run, Shoe is a true collector's curiosity — the kind of find that reminds you how wonderfully wide the world of comics really is beyond the superhero mainstream.
