<p>If you recently watched the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G8uYHMT1VA&list=PLclmZ5KRrb88PWWFt3IyyMeJgpnISanaS&index=5" rel="nofollow">mailbag episode of Cartoonist Kayfabe</a> spotlighting Group of 7 off the top or you listened to <a href="http://www.neversleepsnetwork.com/podcast/jason-lapidus" rel="nofollow">our episode</a> with Group of 7 artist Jason Lapidus, this is the episode that will complete the Group of 7 trifecta because Chris Sanagan is the writer of Group of 7. </p><p>Chris lives in Guelph, Ontario but spent many of his younger years as a Bay Street broker in Toronto before persuing a career as a historical achivist. You'll learn from this episode that Chris came up with the idea for Group of 7 after realizing that seven legendary Caadians were all fighting in Europe during WWI at the same time. With those Canadians as chess pieces, a sensibility taken from works like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the artistry of one of his best friends in the world, he's able to put together a pretty compelling package for any comic fan who also digs Canadian history.</p><p>In the coversation, Chris highlights how all those elements came together – in particular, how he and artist Jason Lapidus first met – and their plans for the next Group of 7 storyline after the first six issues, which have recently been collected into graphic novel form as, Group of 7: A Most Secret Tale. It's available for purchase in May 2020.
