Collected Doug Wright Canadas Master Cartoonist HC

The first of a historic two-volume set, The Collected 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 1960's. Wright was a major figure in mid-20th century cartooning and his work was a major influence on the likes of Chester Brown, Dave Sim, and Seth. From the 1950s to 1980, Wright's weekly strip was read by over 2 million Canadians and was syndicated across the country. Designed by the acclaimed cartoonist and Peanuts designer Seth and featuring a biographical essay by journalist Brad Mackay, this lavish hardcover collection gives Wright's career the recognition it has long been due. The introduction is by Lynn Johnston, of the syndicated heavyweight comic strip For Better or For Worse.
