The CBC reported on a comic biography adapted from the life of a lighthouse keeper:
A lighthouse keeper's memoir has gotten the comic book treatment with a new series in a massive newspaper south of the border.No doubt, lighthouses have plenty of potential as settings for a comic story, and if memory serves, when Marvel published Excalibur for a decade, the team's HQ was set at a lighthouse too, on Muir Island. Good luck to Mr. Porter in selling this.
Barry Porter's memoir, Adventures of a Lightkeeper, was published by Flanker Press in 2022 and tells tales of his adventures while working with the Canadian Coast Guard on the northeast coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Washington Post, the fourth largest newspaper in the United States, recently published a comic version of the book that includes 40 illustrations.
"It makes more people aware of lighthouses and about what went on here," Porter told CBC Radio's The Broadcast.
