<i>War Exchange Conservation Act</i> (WECA) late in 1940 to preserve its currency for the war effort by limiting the importation of nonessential goods. Periodicals, including popular American comic books, were one casualty. Within a few months, Canadian artists
and entrepreneurs responded by launching a domestic comic book industry often regarded as Canada’s golden age of comics. This industry produced four publishing companies and six years of original Canadian comics production, including
<i>Robin Hood Comics</i> and <i>Triumph-Adventure Comics, </i>which featured Adrian Dingle’s
<i>Nelvana of the Northern Lights</i>, one of the earliest female superheroes in comics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
