He is widely known for his research into genres as diverse as the lyric, the long poem, sound poetry, concrete poetry, critical theory and now, with the publication of \u003ci\u003ebpNichol Comics\u003c\/i\u003e, we can even add the comic strip to this impressive list. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCarl Peters has put together this major collection of Nichol's comics from 1960 to 1980, which frame characters ranging from Milt the Morph, to Bob de Cat, Lonely Fred and Rover Rawshanks: rich examples of Nichol's attempts to explode conventional syntax, narrative structure, lyric self-centredness-indeed all of the conventions of modernist art and art making. And with the inclusion of a remarkable selection of previously unpublished letters and essays around the comics themselves, Peters shows us that Nichol's comics informed not only his own work in other genres, but the work of other writers as well. But, in as much as Nichol's comics bring us to a deeper understanding of his poetics, his comics also remind us that, as Robin Blaser writes, \"the truth is laughter.\" \u003ci\u003ebpNichol Comics\u003c\/i\u003e is not only for scholars, poets, cartoonists, artists, animators, writers and readers; it is for the inquisitive and adventurous child in all of us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Talonbooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889224483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.12w x 0.73d","brand":"BP Nichol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44700353659061,"sku":"9780889224483","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bd49826a-7ef2-4f4c-84d7-816ef71b1b21.jpg?v=1728396809","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/bpnichol-comics-9780889224483","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
