Copertina anteriore
Smithsonian Institution Press, 1977 - 336 pagine
"Included in this Smithsonian Collection are some of the most accomplished and critically notable strips from the Yellow Kid of 1896 - the first to attain definitive form - to such admired contemporary works as Peanuts, B.C., and Doonesbury. Along the way we come across old favorites : Katzenjammer Kids, Mutt and Jeff, The Gumps, Gasoline Alley, Moon Mullins, Bringing Up Father, Mickey Mouse, Little Orphan Annie, Dick Tracy, Li'l Abner, Barnaby, Pogo, and ever so many more. Most of the works chosen for this volume have intrinsic excellence and were popular with the readers of their time. The editors have looked for comics that are important, interesting, artistic, funny, representational, curious - some or all of these - take your pick. These newspaper comic strips are an important part of our cultural history. They are also fun to read - and are meant to be enjoyed."--Rabat de la jaquette.
