Captain Canuck No. 1, January 1994, appeared in two versions -- regular newsstand and a gold-oriented cover version polybagged with two of four trading cards. This issue also was printed in separate French and English versions. In place of the original Comely COMIX imprint, the hew series continued under the imprint SEMPLE COMICS, so named as memorial to 22-year-old Paul Semple. who was stabbed to death the year before when he rushed to the aid of a woman being attacked by four men in Toronto.
