I had heard of Captain Canuck long before I moved to Canada.
Alpha Flight sold pretty well in the US for quite a while too (although I wouldn't call it a top seller).
Those old EC comics rock! Wally Wood proved himself as one of the best artists in the industry during his time there.
If you like those, you should check out some of the modern comics that are coming out.
100 Bullets is an ongoing crime drama that keeps winning award after award.
Astro City is a super hero comic that talks more about the impact of super heroes on the city than who they have to fight this week.
Jinx and Goldfish are both self contained graphic novels that more closely resemble your classic EC stuff than just about anything else on the shelves today.
I've avoided the super hero genre since the late '80s and still found lots to keep me buying comics every week. Of course there are some amazing things happening in the comic industry now. I've even started to pick up the Utlitmate Spiderman series because of how well written it is.
Stop in to a local comic shop and poke around. You'll probably be very happy with what you find.
