NITE-FLYER

“Jack Lockhart” aka “Nite-Flyer” is the grandson of “Ladywing” an “Allied Enigma” agent during World War 2. Because of her hand gliding and parachuting expertise, he has studied the technology of unaided human flight and developed a high-tech cybernetic flight suit. He was fired from his job in the aerospace division of “Wayne Advances” after a colleague “Victor Panza” framed him for an act of corporate espionage. “Jack” set out to clear his name and exact revenge on “Victor”. He joined forces with Nitro-Girl and smashed “Panza’s espionage ring.

Later, he and “Nitro Girl” encounter Panza in a final confrontation in Northern Ontario, where they also encounter “Kirk Kingston” and former “Allied Enigma” agent “Tor’ma” both former inhabitants of the lost city of Cu’ron. At the conclusion of this story Victor is destroyed.

In dedicating “First Flight” to Jerry Lazare “Who did it right the first time”, this team may be suggesting that “Ladywing” is a reference to Lazare’s “The Wing”.

NICHOL b. p. (Barry)

Born 1943 in Vancouver British Columbia.

This versatile writer began as a concrete poet which gave him an international audience and reputation. From there he branched out into other forms of poetry, novels, nonfiction.  He won the Governor General’s Award for poetry in 1970 for his book comic chef. He joined fellow poets Rafael Barreto-Rivera, Paul Dutton and Steve McCaffery to form the group The Four Horsemen which produced to 33rpm discs of sound poetry. I have added some of his other works below.

As can be seen in the graphic stories below, he became involved with the alternative cartoonists of the 1970’s and 1980’s, including Tony Meers, Tom Nesbitt, Franc Reyes, Paul Rivoche who were grouped around Ron Van Leeuwen’s Andromeda Publications Ltd.

In 1988, he was with Mark Askwith co-consultant on the film Comic Book Confidential and co-designer the promotional booklet.
