Alrighty then, now that the disclaimer is out of the way, allow me to
introduce myself. My name's Dwayne MacKinnon, and I'm a long-time comics fan
currently living in Ottawa, Ontario. This site is the HTML-ized version of a
long-running project of mine, the Guide to Alpha Flight.
Marvel Comics has seen fit to start up Alpha Flight once again, with Alpha Flight v3. Which means I have got to get around to updating this site. After Alpha v1 was
cancelled in late 1994 I created the Guide to show how much I liked the book
and its characters. Basically, the Guide is a bunch of Official Handbook of
the Marvel Universe-style histories of Alpha Flight characters.
As such, this site is low on flashy gimmicks. Unlike the actual OHOTMU it
doesn't even have pictures. What it does have is fairly comprehensive histories
of the major characters that were created or appear in Alpha Flight. Depending on your browser, you might have frames. :) In fact, if you're viewing this
notice squooshed into another site's frames,

If you've chosen the "Clear Frames" option and would like to get the frames back, CLICK HERE to do that.
I created this web site for two reasons. The first was that a project like
the Guide can make nice use of HTML cross-referencing. The second was because
Marvel started publishing Alpha Flight again in 1997. So, I decided I needed
a forum where I could update the Guide easily on a regular basis. I've been rather negligent on that point lately; expect a major update soon.
Previously the Guide had been archived in a simple-text format at Seng
Mah's excellent
Net Alpha page. I considered asking Seng to keep the new Guide there as
well, but decided that all the updating I wanted to do would be a bit unfair
to him. Still though, I owe Seng much thanks. The basic look of this site is
based off of his format for the Guide, and the nice graphical logo I use is his
work as well. All I did was cross-reference and spruce-up the text formatting a
bit. So to Seng goes a hearty thank-you; I couldn't have done this without him.
The Guide is in alphabetical order. Where a character is listed by a
real name instead of a code-name, the order is by their FIRST name. So
Madison Jeffries is listed in the "M" section,
not the "J".
A good starting point is the "A" section of the Guide. The first listing
is for the Alpha Flight team. Very soon now that entry will be updated to reflect AF v3, and so will the rest of the site. Bear with me, ok? :-) The Alpha Flight entry still has links
to most of the characters past and present that have been members, so even in its out-of-date state it's somewhat useful.
I'd really like to get some feedback on this site; this is my first
experiment with HTML and I'd like to know what people think. Please
mail me at
dmk@SPA.ncf.MBLO.ca.K to let me know, ok?
Happy browsing!

In 1978 Chris Claremont and John Byrne created this band of heroes as a team to rival the X-Men. Who knew it would grow to become such a legacy! If you would like to join in the celebration, just click on the graphic at left for full details. |
