Description

First Alley and crew have a new adventure in Moo, then they're back in the present and off on a trip to the moon! Next up, Julius Caesar has been beaten by the Britons and only Alley can come to the rescue, as he dons armor and becomes a warrior! Back in the modern day, Doc Wonmug is targeted by international gangsters! These stories and more are in this big oversized book, presenting two full years of daily strips and 78 color Sundays. As to why these two oversize books are different -- ordinarily, Alley Oop daily and Sunday strips were completely separate and unrelated adventures. But, for reasons we'll never know, for three years (1946, '49, '50) , Sunday strips were integrated directly with the daily story lines, so that they were meant to be read continuously. In 1946 there were ten weeks of integrated Sundays and in 1949/50 there were seventy-eight. More from the publisher: "So I had to make these two books oversize to accommodate the Sunday strips in their correct dimensions. I combined 1949 with 1950 into one book to keep costs down, but I kept 1946 separate because I know I'll want to be able to keep my shelf in chronological order (with 47 and 48 in between 46 and 49 where they belong)." "Kitchen Sink and Manuscript Press, although they did reprint 1949 and 1950, omitted the Sunday strips. Or, rather, they each did include exactly two Sunday strips, but KS put them in the back of their book and MP put them on the front and back covers. My books have all the Sundays, in color, in their proper order. Alley Oop Magazine #16 included the ten color Sundays in their reprinting of 1946 dailies, but the quality of my book is far better." - the publisher
