About the Author

Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber, December 28, 1922) is an American comic-book writer, editor, publisher, media producer, television host, actor, and former president and chairman of Marvel Comics. In collaboration with several artists, including Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, he created Spider-Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Daredevil, Thor, the X-Men, and many other fictional characters, introducing a thoroughly shared universe into superhero comic books. In addition, he headed the first major successful challenge to the industry's censorship organization, the Comics Code Authority, and forced it to reform its policies. Lee subsequently led the expansion of Marvel Comics from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation.

He was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1995. Lee received a National Medal of Arts in 2008.

Been there, done that, but who cares?

A very nice collection, with lovely reproduction of the material, although the astute reader will discern a very real vibe of "Raw Books can do it, why can't I?" trend-following the example of Spiegelman & Mouly's earlier fine collection of children's comics. The more the merrier, right?
My only quibble is the price, but that's why the deep discounts offered by Amazon and its dealers ought to be taken advantage of work no hesitation. And free shipping, of course.

While I appreciate the content in this book, I do wish that the pages could've been remastered, or the color omitted. They could be cleaner, but they are NOT bad. All in all well done.

Great stuff for anyone who loves comics and comics art. My nephews (ages 6, 5, & 4) love when I read these stories to them and I enjoy seeing famous artists I know draw some of the stories.

Although I collect comic books in their original format. I purchased this Golden Animal Funny book for just the entertainment value.

you'd better get another book. Has a lot of comic history. Children complained. Interesting, but there are better comic history books.

Very cool and collectible!

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2010

Craig Yoe has way too much fun for any writer. His current project, "Klassic Krazy kool Kids Komics" allowed him to read `kids comics' from the early 1940's to 1960's.
It's true. How else can you explain the treasures he was able to find from the likes of Wally Wood, Frank Frazetta, Dr Seuss, Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, Mort Walker, Harvey Kurtzman, Dan Decarlo, Carl Barks, Syd Hoff, George Carlson, and Jules Pfeiffer `pre-success'? Sure, can I borrow your old funnies and look for classic artists you thought you knew?
As a comic historian, I am marginally jealous of his monumental task. One thing I do know is that his largest task was the selection of exactly what to print, and who he should print. We do know, for instance, that Kirby was active in comic books from the mid 1930's, and that other legends drew under pen names that are lost to history.
Having said that, one of the delights of the book is the inclusion of Mr. Tom Plumb from 1850. Three color art would have been revolutionary at that time. Can you imagine pre-civil war readers thrilling to a `new' entertainment? Mr Abraham Lincoln reading this funny to his children? That in itself makes the inclusion of the strip worth the price of the book.
"The Magic Soap Bubble" is uncredited, but looking at the art, I might hypothesize that it is Shelly Mayer perhaps, or even Alex Blum. What a great advertisement for literacy! Too bad Mr Wertham didn't take the time to read this one all the way through.
Some of the other surprises in the book are:
Dave Berg-The King Who Couldn't Sleep (1947)
Harry G Peter-King Midas (1950)
Jules Pfeiffer-Clifford (1949)
Harvey Kurtzman-Pigtales (1946)
Jack Kirby-Earl the Rich Rabbit (1947)
Carl Barks-Barney Bear (1946)
Frank Frazetta-Hucky Duck (1949)
Dr Seuss-Heiji (1935)
This is really a treasure that demands you spend a whole afternoon reading and admiring. If I have any criticism of this tome, it is that there should have been a short biography section at the end of the book of each of the contributors. Well chosen Mr Yoe.
Let's see one more book, we know these guys did a LOT of work.
