A Brief History of Mirror Comics Studios
Once upon a time…
There was a small Canadian press
success story, founded
in 2010, and it was…
Mirror Comics. . .
the one and only, original,
Mirror Comics, which
came about during the
geek chic revolution
of 2012 and beyond.
All told, Mirror saw many releases,
and the beginning of many
burgeoning careers.
As co-founder, president and publisher,
Dominic Bercier wore many hats, including
house letterer and designer on his
and others' comic books.
Counting 30 releases
and collaborations with over 20 young
creators, in 2015, it mysteriously…
vanished!
What had happened?
Three months later, on 06.06.15,
Mirror Comics Studios appeared
out of he ashes of the small press,
with founder, principal and owner,
Dominic Bercier, expressing that
something deep had called
to him from within, and
it was called…
SIGNAL Saga!
This would redefine Dominic’s efforts
from mysticism and mystery
to spunky dialogue, superhero
and science-fiction psychedelia,
something that would meld
the influences he’d been
trying to bridge for years…
The weird of Moebius,
the clever design of Dave McKean,
the crosshatch approach of Jim Lee,
the bold compositions of Mike Mignola.
USA, UK, France and Asia, as one!
only it was in Canada.
Mirror Comics Studios
then goes on to work for
publishers, cultural groups,
artists and writers, mainly in
Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto,
always returning
to the core…
…SIGNAL Saga, an all that this entails.
With X-Ray of a Saga,
a short non-fiction piece, Dominic
lays the ground for the epic journey,
and his short prequel,
SIGNAL Saga #0 :
PanGaea and the Key of Mirrari,
receives a Prix Aurora Awards nomination.
But as the years go on,
and the hermit mystique continues,
the fans are starting to wonder…
What’s he building in there!?
