Thanks for reading the Minor Niner preview! I'll know an exact release date this August. I'm hoping to have it coincide with the actual season this comic takes place in.

Comic notes:

  • Bon Echo is a real provincial park! The Group of Seven liked painting Mazinaw Rock. I drove up to the park a couple years ago to get a bunch of photos and video for reference and to use as promo materials. The comic doesn't quite capture the scale of the cliffs. I grew up near-ish so we went here a lot as kids.
  • October 19th at Bon Echo probably wouldn't be as colourful as this or as warm. Usually all the leaves are off the trees but doing the fall colours looks prettier than all grey everything.

This is the origin story of the origin story! How did the pirates become friends? What was Ivanhoe like in school? After getting expelled and denied entrance to a private high school, Ivanhoe Scott gets sent to Black River Secondary where he meets his future best friends who later become the π-rates. Ivanhoe is approached by an older student named Kingston, who convinces him to dig up some "treasure" buried and abandoned by some gangsters. What follows is the camping trip from hell...

Minor Niner releases September 2025 as a digital download or print edition. The comic is 48 pages long.

Alpha of the North – Available Now!

Posted on 2023-11-27 by Zabetta Cragley 
Ivanhoe and his crew of wannabe pirates head into the wilds of Northern Ontario and run afoul of some shady ship builders. The pirates owe the ship builders a significant sum of money for a boat they destroyed, which leads them on a chase across the North and ends in a brawl on a train in the middle of nowhere. When the dust finally settles, Alpha finds himself stranded in the middle of the night hoping for a miracle...
