Meeting of the All-Star Squadron. Just one team but given the size of the membership I think this counts

Sorry, couldn't find a unified image of this double page spread:

Took a bit of hunting, but...

Golden Age Canadian characters, reimagined by Ty Templeton for Northern Guard.

This was the cover for a mid-1980s book on Canadian comics, and features a number of Canadian characters. The gap in the middle is the spine - I couldn't find a scan of the entire piece of artwork, just the front and back covers.

Ken Steacy, who drew that last cover, lives in Victoria, so I have an autographed version of the cover. Since I can't seem to post my own scans directly to the forum, I'll try later to post to the blog I set up for WWtW during the lull and then paste the image here.

EDIT: I was able to scan it in but the scan didn't look that good and I fear If I tried to rescan so you can see the spine better it would destroy the book, as it's on the early stages of falling aprt,

If you can scan just the spine (and so not damage the book by trying to lie it flat), I might be able to stitch the images together.

Thanks. Here's the revised version - not perfect thanks to my inexpert stitching, but definitely better for having the spine added.

And also:

Hembeck 1980, as reprinted in The Nearly Complete Essential Hembeck Archives Omnibus. Apologies for how crooked it is. Hard to scan a book this size on a standard printer/copier/scanner and it took three tries to even get it looking this good. But I think you'll agree this is a good challenge for trying to ID everyone.

From that same issue:

Image didn't appear.

Weird. It's appearing for me. I'll try to fix it.

And some more Chris Weston, starting with his tribute to the late Carlos Ezquerra:

Only three in this, but too nice not to post - three of Britain's space aces: Dan Dare, Jet Ace Logan and Captain Condor.
