Mirror Comics Studios History
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,
not least of which was
Dominic Bercier's.
As co-founder, president and publisher,
Dominic wore many hats, including
house letterer and designer.
After 30 releases by 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
and science-fiction psychedelia,
something that would meld
the influences he’d been
trying to bridge for years…
The breadth of Moebius,
the ingenuity of Dave McKean,
the grandeur of Jim Lee,
the composition of Mike Mignola.
USA, UK, France and Asia, as one!
But… in Canada.
Mirror Comics Studios’ Bercier
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,
Bercier lays the ground for the epic journey,
and his SIGNAL Saga #0 :
PanGaea and the Key of Mirrari,
gets a Prix Aurora Awards nomination,
despite being very short.
But as the years go on,
and the hermit mystique continues,
the fans are starting to wonder…
What’s he building in there!?
