Congratulations to Stanley Berneche (’70), who will be inducted into the Canadian Comic Book Creator Hall of Fame at the Joe Shuster Awards ceremony on Saturday, June 14th in Toronto.
Following his studies at Mount A, Stanley became the leading artist associated with the counterculture humour magazine Fuddle Duddle, which was published in Ottawa from 1971 to 1972.
Stanley's main collaborator at the magazine was writer Peter Evans (’68), a friend from his university days.
Their satirical character Captain Canada, the first national superhero to appear following the Canadian Golden Age of Comics, made his debut in Fuddle Duddle #3.
Stanley was also drawing the strip True Tales of the RCMP for the Canadian Boy Scout magazine Trailblazers.
He is currently working on a variety of multimedia, web-related products and services, including website design, the design of next-generation, public-access, graphical user-interfaces, and the development of web-delivered, limited-series illustrations.
Canada's first national award recognizing outstanding achievements by Canadian creators in the creation and publication of comic books and graphic novels returns in 2008 for it’s fourth year: the JOE SHUSTER CANADIAN COMIC BOOK CREATOR AWARDS, named after pioneering Toronto-born artist Joe Shuster who, along with writer Jerry Siegel, created the iconic super-powered hero, Superman.
