Guardian subs for Iron Man for Alter Ego #71

The magazine below is described on the "essential reading" page of They Stand On Guard.  However, it is not particularly prominent, and I seldom see it referred to in terms of rare Alpha Flight sightings, so let's shine a bit of a spotlight on it.

Alter Ego, for those who may be unfamiliar with the publication, is a magazine devoted to the golden and silver ages of comics.  This particular issue was mostly devoted to Canadian comics (obviously) from the mid-40's.

Long time comic readers will find the poses somewhat familiar; the image pays homage to Jack Kirby's cover for What if? #9 with Guardian taking the place of Iron Man, appropriately enough.

If you have the slightest interest in the history of Canadian comics, use the link above to order that issue.  It is an excellent source of information.
