    Default Appearance in National Geographic

    In the original series #4, in the proto-letters page, there's a sarcastic little comment that: "Some of our Canadian readers seem to have picked up Alpha Flight #1 in the mistaken impression that it was a copy of the National Geographic.

    It has now come around! Alpha Flight have now appeared in the actual National Geographic!

    Well, one of them has:
    My dad just showed me a copy of said magazine, which had a brief article about diversity in comics. One of the characters listed (and pictured) was Northstar (holding hands with Kyle, I believe at their wedding).

    Sorry, it was so long ago I've long since forgotten. I doubt my dad remembers either (and he was here about five minutes ago! If I'd read this first, I could've asked him.)

    I can now confirm for anyone looking - Jean-Paul and Kyle appear in a collage of diverse comic characters, the image is from the cover of Astonishing X-Men #51. The article appears in National Geographic June 2017.

    I wanted to thank everyone for the shared knowledge and discussions one this site - you guys have really helped me fill out my collection! really feels like a community. much appreciated.
