Doris Slater Titus is Canada's first woman comic book artist... . "Through the marriage of her older sister Minnie, Titus became sister-in-law to Ted McCall, the editor and writer of Toronto-based Anglo-American Publications Company. This familial connection was fortuitous. In the summer of 1941, Titus was hired by McCall and Anglo-American to produce several comic book illustrations. Her first work, Pat the Air Cadet, featured a brother-and-sister team that outwitted Axis ...plots during the Second World War (1939 1945). The signature MacDuff is believed to be a pseudonym for the working relationship between McCall and TitusMcCall writing stories and Titus illustrating them. The publication of Pat the Air Cadet in the September/October issue of Grand Slam Comics in 1941 made Titus the first woman comic book artist in Canada.[2] Unfortunately, this accomplishment is little known outside the Canadian comic book industry." . "Doris Slater Titus: Retrospective, 1941 - 1964" runs until the end of May at Glenhyrst. . . . #glenhyrst #glenhyrstartgallery #brantford #brantfordon #brantfordontario #brantregion #brantcounty #art #artgallery #museum #artwork #community #ontario #dorislatertitus #comicbooks #chatham #chathamontario #womenartists #comics See more
