History, art and more from the classic Canadian cartoon. Thoughtful, well written and researched, this zine is the perfect companion to the memory-jarring flashbacks of early Saturday morning or lunchtime viewing that was Rocket Robin Hood. And who knew all along that once again Canadians invented something amazing? Basketball, sand, water, hockey, blood transfusions: Canadians are miles ahead of everyone. Writes David, “The Rocket Robin Hood episodes were broken into three segments much like the Krantz and Grantray-Lawrence produced precursor, The Marvel Superheroes, with a recap at the beginning of each segment and ending with a character interstitial.” I highly recommend you track this zine down and YouTube some old cartoons. Total quality and effort here. (Jack Cena)
