According to Library and Archives Canada, Nelvana does indeed own the copyright to Nelvana (and Johnny Canuck).

Okay scratch that. The copyrights are crediting the reproduction of illustrations of from "The Great Canadian Comic Books" by Micheal Hirsh & Patrick Loubert, Nelvana Ltd. 1971. Who knows, maybe the characters are public domain like the great Canadian Hero Mr. Monster was.

This is fascinating stuff. Would love to read the original Nelvana stories. Cover looks very 'Flash Gordon' Dale Arden like.

That's not a cover, it's a commemorative stamp.
Here's the actual cover it came from:
...and a sample page...
As you can see, the artist was heavily influenced by
Milton Caniff.
Amusing to see that line of copy across the bottom of
the cover. Can you imagine the sh*t-fit our Canadian
cousins would throw if an American comic carried a
similar description of the Great White North?

As I scanned the cover, and before I ran into JB's comment, I mentally finished the sentence ". . . this comic has it all!"
