I actually can't say for sure how CAPTAIN CANUCK's distribution was in Florida. I think I knew of the character before that, but the first I saw physical copies of the series was as back issues at a comic store in Lantana, FL in 1982, a few months after the series ceased publication, where I picked up issues 13 and 14, and gradually picked up the rest of the back issues.

THE COMICS JOURNAL always had a 2 month list of upcoming releases, where CAPTAIN CANUCK was consistently listed alongside the Marvel, DC and Warren releases. But I don't ever recall seeing them on the stands. I suspect they were not ordered by retailers in large quantities.
