![]() In her stories, Nelvana is the daughter of Koliak, King of the Northern Lights, and an unnamed mortal woman. Like all superheroes, Nelvana has two origins, one her canon origin, and the other her historical origin. Then frustrated, as her adventures have been out of print since her last appearance in 1947. I’m a nerd, a feminist, and an avid fan of Arctic literature so I was incredibly shocked that I never heard of her before, and I became completely captivated. Besides that, she was also one of the earliest comic-book SuperWomen, predating Wonder Woman by several months. She was a fierce protector of the North who used her superpowers to fight exploiters of the Arctic, from Nazis to interdimensional space invaders. Six years ago, I first heard of Nelvana of the Northern Lights, an Inuit demigoddess printed in comic books across Canada during WWII. ![]()
