Angloman #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers the complete run of the 1995 Nuage Editions series Angloman, a satirical superhero comic that follows a grammar-obsessed vigilante whose mission is to enforce proper punctuation and spelling in a world of linguistic chaos. The volume includes the full story arc, showcasing the titular character's absurd battles against misplaced apostrophes and other grammatical errors, with art and writing by creator John Smith.
"Prologue" kicks off Angloman #1 (1995) with a vivid flashback to Capitaine Souche’s childhood trauma in Eaton’s, where the sound of English in a department store triggered a deep unease. Written by Mark Shainblum and illustrated by Gabriel Morrissette, with inks by Michel Lacombe and Eric Theriault, the story unfolds in a surreal blend of personal memory and political satire, as the Angry Anglo’s rage over street name changes is soothed by the mysterious Richlergun. The cover, by Gabriel Morrissette, captures the tension with a striking, stylized image of the title character in mid-charge.
In the former Sunlife Assurance Company, Angloman drags West Island Lad into a showdown against a unilingual robotic threat rampaging through the Big O. With help from Poutinette, they barely hold the line—but bureaucratic red tape from La Régie des superhéros et pouvoirs surhumains might be their real undoing.
In "Slaves of the Ice Queen," Jo finds herself caught in a bizarre culinary coup when the new "Quarters" restaurant threatens to enslave the world with junk food and junk music. Poutinette, the self-proclaimed defender of French-Canadian culture, tries everything—chocolate, fries, even her signature poutine—but the Ice Queen remains unfazed, immune to all but one truth: her own linguistic hypocrisy. Written by the creators of Angloman, this satirical 8-page romp skewers cultural identity with a wink and a spoonful of irony.
