Nipper 1963-1964

Doug Wright

September 2010

The 2008 debut of The Collected Doug Wright: Canada’s Master Cartoonist introduced the world to the charms of Canada’s mischievous little kid, Nipper, who appeared in newspapers across the country in the mid 20th century. Nipper 1963-64 is the first in a series of paperback annuals that will collect two years worth of Doug Wright’s ingenious and enduring comic strip. This volume covers a peak period in Wright’s four-decade career as he comes into his own as an iconic cartoonist capable of documenting middle-class suburban existence in all its minute joys and indignities. Packed with period details and loaded with charm, these collections of sublime wordless strips will feature designs by acclaimed cartoonist Seth and a brief introduction by writer Brad Mackay.

The Collected Doug Wright Volume One

Doug Wright

May 2009

The first of a historic two-volume set, Doug Wright: Canada�s Master Cartoonist presents the first-ever comprehensive look at the life and career of one of the most-read and best-loved cartoonists of the 1960s. Compiled in cooperation with Wright�s family, it draws from thousands of pieces of art, pictures, letters, and the artist�s own journals, to provide a fully rounded view of Doug Wright, both as a cartoonist and as an individual.

Volume One follows the artistic development of the British-born cartoonist from his earliest unpublished work to the first days of his most enduring comic strip, Nipper. First published in 1949, a full year before the debut of Peanuts, this wordless strip perfectly captured the humorous�and frustrating�side of parenting for several generations of both young and old. Remembered by many for his cartoon children�s striped shirts and bald heads, Nipper quickly grew into a Canadian phenomenon.

Designed by the acclaimed cartoonist & Peanuts designer Seth (George Sprott) and featuring a biographical essay by writer Brad Mackay, this lavish hardcover collection gives Wright�s career the recognition it has long been due. The introduction is by one of the most famous working cartoonists today, Lynn Johnston, of the syndicated heavy weight comic strip For Better or For Worse.

Harcover, 240 pages, 9 x 14 inches, color.
