THE PENGUIN BOOK OF COMICS

One of a very, very small group of early books to examine the comics. This one by the renowned Alan Aldridge, who went on to produced the two-volume Illustrated Beatles and for many other hip books. This is the story of strip cartoons since comics began, of the artists who created the characters, and of the characters who took charge of their creators. Here you'll find the true tale of Popeye, Pip, Squeak and Wilfred, and L'il Abner, of Tarzan and Captain America and Peanuts, and The Spirit, examining American and British comics.

This sumptuous, well-illustrated book is now a classic.
