His published works include: •
Northguard, a post-modern Canadian
superhero, created in the 1980s with illustrator
Gabriel Morrissette. Though Northguard was published as an independent comic book series and didn't achieve the notoriety of better-known Canadian superheroes like
Richard Comely's
Captain Canuck or
Marvel Comics'
Alpha Flight, it was well received by critics and a core following of fans. The Quebec superheroine
Fleur-de-Lys, a supporting character from the series, even made her way to a Canadian postage stamp in 1995. •
Angloman, co-created with
Gabriel Morrissette. A humorous parody of politics in Shainblum's native province of Quebec, Angloman was first published in book form and then made the leap to two Montreal newspapers, the alternative newsweekly
Montreal Mirror and the mass-circulation daily
Montreal Gazette. With John Dupuis, Shainblum afor lso co-edited the 1998 short story collection
Arrowdreams: An Anthology of Alternate Canadas, which garnered a
Prix Aurora Award for Canadian science fiction in 1999. Shainblum was also a finalist in the 2001 international Mark Twain Writing Competition and recently published a story in
Claude Lalumière's anthology
Island Dreams: Montreal Writers of the Fantastic from
Véhicule Press. In 2002–03, he served as president of
