☆ 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.

Capitaine Souche has a flashback to a traumatic childhood experience in a department store: in Eaton's, people spoke English. The Angry Anglo goes crazy about street name changes (St. James to St. Jacques, and Dorchester! Dorchester!), but Angloman calms him with the Richlergun. The Northern Magus sends them all back to 1948 where Angloman gives Eaton's employees French lessons, but Major Westmount and Capitaine Catholique argue against bilingualism, but the future has been changed.
