Tony Dubois is 12, from Regina, and one win away from comic-book immortality: he has climbed to the top ranks of the Stan Lee Superkid competition, where victory means his own character, a pile of money and a trip to Comic-Con in L.A.
A kid from Regina outdrawing thousands for a shot at the Marvel-adjacent big leagues — that's the Canadian dream in a pencil grip. Win or lose, the portfolio he's building beats any report card.
Toronto's young artists draw their own universes in notebooks, on iPads, on bedroom walls. Tony proves the pipeline from prairie bedroom to L.A. stage is real. Keep drawing.
