I've been gathering NWMP/RCMP-based comic book material for some time and have begun a page to display some of it. At the moment it's specific to cover art, but interior content will be added at some point in the future.
In continuing my search earlier today, the book below jumped out while I was on the Comic Book Plus website. Rather than tell the tales of a particularly gifted fictional Mountie, like Preston or King, it aims to teach about the challenges faced by these young men back in the day.
It was published in 1942 by Centaur and was 64 pages in length, not counting covers. Touching on a wide variety of subject, it told of Napoleon, Wild Bill Hickock, Freddie Fitzsimmons' great game in baseball's World Series the previous year and, of course, the RCMP.
The Mountie pages follow. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find story/art credits.
There have been some touch ups to these pages, involving brightening the colours, slight rotation to straighten the images, and reducing the file size to tighten up the resolution a little bit. Those aside, all credit to CB+. Click on the pages for larger versions.
