2013 Doug Wright Awards All-Star All-Canadian art auction
This charmingly hilarious piece of original art features Doctor Thaddeus Bodog Sivana, arch-nemesis of the “Big Red Cheese”, Capt. Marvel. Made famous by co-creator CC Beck, this version is drawn by Canadian cartoonist David Collier. What fun to see Collier bring his low-key, studiously observational style to this melodramatic master of mayhem —and strolling through Toronto’s Liberty Village neighbourhood, no less !!
The Doug Wright Awards were established in 2005 to spotlight the wide array of talented cartoonists working across Canada.
