Product Description
The Ultimate Anthology of American Newspaper Comics! This wonderful book was originally published as The Comic Strip Century in two separate volumes! From The Yellow Kid to Calvin and Hobbes, from the classic to the forgotten, this impressive work with hundreds of full-color pages offers a definitive visual reference to a century's worth of popular art. This monumental gathering of the strips themselves provides readers with a taste of the historical richness and complexity of one of America's most significant contributions to the arts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Drop everything you're doing, and BUY this book., January 11, 2008
By Yakov Chodosh (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
"Comic Strip Century" is a classic that is now pretty expensive on the secondhand book market. This reprint of that two-volume book is on terriffic paper with many Sunday strips appearing in color. You can spend weeks poring over this book. If you're looking to blow $20 on comics, this is the way to go because of the incredible value here -- nearly 500 oversize pages of primo classic material! The only thing more classic is the Smithsonian Book of Comics, also very out of print but not hard to find online for cheap.

When you're done with that, you can get busy with some more recent comic reprint projects, such as WALT & SKEEZIX, SO MANY SPLENDID SUNDAYS, POPEYE, PEANUTS, LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE, etc etc.
