THE TOON TREASURY OF CLASSIC CHILDREN'S COMICS

This unprecedented collection of the greatest comics for kids and youngsters (and you adults too!) was artfully compiled by two of the best-known creators in publishing and the field of comics, Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly, who also contribute a funny foreword that they call "Out of the Trash and into a Treasury." The comics have been culled from the 1940s through the early 1960s and feature the best examples of works by Carl Barks, John Stanley, Sheldon Mayer, Walt Kelly, Basil Wolverton, and George Carlson, among many, many others. Humorous stories range from a single page to eight or even twenty-two pages, each complete and self-contained. Pogo, Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge, and Dennis the Menace are among the favorites here. The book is organized into five categories: Hey, Kids!; Funny Animals; Fantasyland; Story Time!; and Wacky & Weird, and Spiegelman and Mouly have used their expertise to frame each category with an introductory essay and provide brief biographies of the artists. The TOON Treasury of Classic Children’s Comics is essential reading for kids of all ages.
