Magnus settings/cities in North Am?

Post by Knob »

Does anyone remember what cities in North Am Magnus/Leeja lived in during Valiant and Goldkey runs?

I can't remember off the top of my head, but it seems issue one of this new Dark Horse run they are set in the Chicago area of 4000AD. Winnetka is a near north suburb (near where all the John Hughes movies were filmed) and Harold Washington was Chicago's first black mayor who has many things named after him all over Chicago.

Perhaps these areas and towers were mentioned before but I wasn't familiar with them since I didn't live in Chicago during the Valiant run.

I already liked issue #1 of this new series, even cooler that it seems like it's set in my home of ten years... 2000 years from now.

Faith called him Canadian :-), so Chicago is close enough.

It was Ottawa sector in early Valiant issues and Calizona later on.

One of the early issues has a map in the background that has a lot less land in North America than we currently have. :hm:
