Riel Langlois

Writing comics for all kinds of anyone since 2004.

About Me

My name is Riel Langlois. I recently completed the final chapter of the Captain Canuck: Unholy War comic series.

Check out my work at CaptainCanuckUnholyWar.com . Or read a few pages right here! (Art by the amazing Drue Langlois.) I was also fortunate enough to work with Kaare Andrews , Dave Ross , and George Freeman on the series.

My Interests

I am interested in Canadian comic books, especially Captain Canuck. I also play an exceptionally mean game of Skip-Bo (see my pics).

I'd like to meet:

I'm interested in meeting other comic book professionals, and writers of fiction (especially horror and sci-fi). And, of course, comic book readers.

I am particularly interested in meeting artists who want to collaborate, or people interested in working with me.
