“Collier’s Surviving Saskatoon is a comic book retelling of the David
Milgaard story. Convicted in 1969 for the murder of Gail Miller, Milgaard
was Canada’s longest-serving prisoner before his exoneration in 1997
(Collier n. pag.). Surviving Saskatoon returns to the 1969 murder while musing on Saskatchewan’s social tenor at the time of Milgaard’s conviction.
Milgaard is an outsider who defies the normative values of his conservative prairie setting, and his difference, Collier emphasizes, makes Milgaard vulnerable to suspicion.” Via.
