This article provides an overview of the research conducted on comics and graphic novels in Canada, with a focus on cultural transfers and the challenges faced by creators from diverse backgrounds. It explores the development of Canadian comics in both English and French, as well as the impact of global trends like the globalization of the medium and the popularity of manga. The article also delves into the historical and cultural context of comics in Canada, including the dominance of Caucasian creators and the recent diversification of the industry. The research presented in the article aims to move beyond a binary view of Canadian comics and examine the intersections of culture and transfer within the medium. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration and the exchange of ideas between different linguistic and cultural communities, and highlights the role of translation in facilitating these transfers. The article also discusses the influence of French-Belgian and Japanese comics on the Quebecois comic scene, and covers topics such as translation, distribution, appropriation of superheroes, and the representation of Indigenous and multicultural perspectives in comics.
