In an online article, "The top five Native American characters in comics," at the Miramichi Leader Online Edition website, Darcey McLaughlin offers insight to some Indigenous characters as well as praise for my book on Native comic book characters, calling it a "great book" and "well worth the read".
Doesn't get much better than that !
Check out the article link above and read McLaughlin's take on some interesting Native American characters.
Then...buy the book ! :)
