Al Capp's Li'l Abner: The Frazetta Years Volume 4 (1960-1961)

7 reviews
Al Capp, Frank Frazetta

Dark Horse, 2004

Thank goodness for Frazzetta's reputation
Lil Abner always had a strong fan club that allowed the reprinting of the daily strips by Kitchen Sink press for about 25 volumes, which if there was no fan base, only one or two volumes would have been published. In addition,we are very lucky that Frazetta's reputation and fan club would allow the printing of a comic strip that John Steinbeck once stated, its author, Al Capp, should be given ...

100,000,000,000,000 Shmoos can't be wrong!
In 1948, Al Capp introduced the Shmoos into the Li'l Abner comic strip. These adorable creatures became hugely popular across the United States. There were hundreds of different Shmoo products manufactured during the fad. One of the products was a Shmoo comic book, all five issues of which are reprinted here. Capp himself didn't write or draw the comic books; he delegated that task to his ...

The Genius Of Al Capp
Al Capp was on the verge of reaching his peak- a peak he would maintain for many, many years- in these great 1939 newspaper strips. The drawing style is getting bolder and funnier and Capp's visual and narrative satire is beginning to hit a stride that put him at the top of his medium and at the forefront of American popular culture. "Li'l Abner" is a great American work of art, and boy, is it ...

The Short Life and Happy Times of the Shmoo

Al Capp, Harlan Ellison

Overlook Hardcover, 2002

Just as delightful a political statement this side of Gulliver's Travels
When I was 5 I would love to have my father read Pogo, Dagwood and Blondie, and Li'l Abner to me from the daily and Sunday newspapers. When I was 7 years old, I loved reading them by myself and about this time, 1958, the Shmoo became a major theme in the Li'l Abner series. I could not wait for the paper to arrive so I could read the latest adventures of these Shmmos that were so accommodating to ...

Li'l Abner Meets the Shmoo (Li'l Abner Dailies, Volume Fourteen: 1948)
Al Capp

Kitchen Sink Press, 1998

In 1948, Al Capp introduced in Li'l Abner the incredible Shmoo. In the strip, they were cute, cuddly, incredibly prolific... mankind's greatest boon, and its greatest curse. In real life, the Shmoo captured the imagination of America and spawned a glut of merchandise.

BACK TO B. C. (B.C)

Fawcett, 1982

Early B.C.
This is the second of the 120 page Fawcett editions of B.C. compilations. The cartoons are of the very early strips (1960 or so) and the characters really do seem like cave-men (more so than the recent B.C.s) but with contemporary themes and gags. A good addition to your B.C. collection.
