Xavier does, although he loses a leg, his hearing and an immense chunk of his soul. Together, based on their hunting skills learned in the Canadian north, they form a duo of deadly snipers who haunt the trenches of northern France, taking down hundreds of ‘Fritzes’ over their five years of service.Įlijah does not survive the war. It joined an impressive shelf of Canadian fiction centred on the First World War, but it changed the focus on that disastrous conflict radically by telling the story from the point of view of Xavier Bird, a quiet indigenous teenager from up near Moose Factory, Ontario, who enlists along with his hyperactive childhood pal Elijah Whiskeyjack.

KISMIF - A conversation with Dick Oslund.

Share your thoughts about Norm Breyfogle, his art, and any condolences to the family in the comments below. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time. Fans quickly rallied to his aid and donated around $89,000 to help cover his $200,000 in medical bills! DC, Marvel, and the Hero Initiative also reached out to offer aid at the time. Later, he would create his own series and universe with a title called Metaphysique that ran for six issues.īreyfogle had suffered a stroke in 2014. He would also illustrate a series of children's books as well as drawing for Archie Comics (Archie Loves Veronica, Archie Loves Betty), First Comics, and Image Comics.

He would also work at Marvel Comics, co-creating the Ultraverse and helping to launch Prime as well as working on Avengers, Black Panther, Hellcat, Marvel Fanfare, and Moon Knight. More specifically, the 25th anniversary Countach, which had the high-rise boot and longitudinal vents on the redesigned air boxes. Fans are often surprised to learn that early on, his design used a very real (albeit exotic) car for inspiration: the Lamborghini Countach. Breyfogle was also responsible for the creation one of Batman's more radical Batmobiles! A powerful-looking machine that eschewed all previous designs yet was immediately recognizable as the Batmobile.
