Walt & Skeezix, 1921-22 (book 1)
(Ref: WAS1921)   

Walt & Skeezix, 1921-22 (book 1)
Frank King, preface by Chris Ware, introduction by Jeet Heer. Drawn & Quarterly, 2005. A beautifully produced anthology of the comic strip art of Frank O. King (1883-1969), Gasoline Alley. There is a leisurely introduction, from Jeet Heer, which includes the research notes of Tim Samuelson. Packed with evocative sepia toned photographs & examples of full colour Sunday pages, we are introduced to the main subject, the B&W comic strip series, from 1921-2.

These have never before been compiled in any comprehensive form and this represents a true labour of love. The publisher intends to reprint the entire series, which continued into the 1950's, with an additional volume of earlier pre-Skeezix strips, at some point. For anyone interested in American newspaper strips, this is an essential purchase. 352 pages. Hard Cover Part Colour 10" x 7" (25cm x 18cm) Dust Jacket ISBN: 1896597645 Highly Recommended.

Our Price: £21.95 ($35.12) (€28,54)

Walt & Skeezix, 1923-24 (book 2)
(Ref: WAS1923)   

Walt & Skeezix, 1923-24 (book 2)
Frank King, introduction by Jeet Heer. Drawn & Quarterly, 2006. Walt & Skeezix: Book Two collects the Gasoline Alley strips by the great American cartoonist Frank King from 1923 - 1924. King was the first cartoonist to have his characters age in real time and have modern storylines.

In Book Two, Baby Skeezix is kidnapped, Walt's courtship with Phyllis heats up and cools down, and Walt makes a bet with his friend Avery to see who can cross the North American continent first.

There will be a new eighty-page introduction by journalist Jeet Heer exploring the strip's Chicago background and the attraction that King and other cartoonists felt for the Grand Canyon. 400+ pages. Hard Cover Black & White 10" x 7" (25cm x 18cm) ISBN: 1896597998

Our Price: £19.99 ($31.98) (€25,99)

Walt & Skeezix, 1925 & 1926 (Book 3)
(Ref: WAS1925)   

Walt & Skeezix, 1925 & 1926 (Book 3)
Frank O. King Introduction by Jeet Heer. Drawn & Quarterly, 2007. In this third volume of the much-praised Walt & Skeezix reprint series, the domestic side of Gasoline Alley receives full play. An old flame comes to visit Walt, with an eye towards marriage. Meanwhile, Walt pines for Mrs. Blossom, the neighborhood widow. Out of these entanglements, a long engagement and wedding ensue.

As with earlier volumes, this book will have a 80-page introduction featuring many private photographs of the cartoonist Frank King and his family. The introduction delves into the marketing of Gasoline Alley in the 1920s and 1930s, with many dolls and toys taken from the personal collection of Chris Ware, the series designer and award-winning cartoonist. 400+ pages. Hard Cover Part Colour (ISBN-13: 9781897299098)

Our Price: £19.99 ($31.98) (€25,99)
