Summary

"The TOON Treasury of Classic Children's Comics is an unprecedented collection of the greatest comics for children, artfully compiled by two of the best-known creators in publishing and the field of comics-Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly. This treasury created for young readers focuses on comic books, not comic strips, and contains humorous stories that range from a single page to eight or even twenty-two pages, each complete and self-contained. The comics have been culled from the Golden Age of comic books, roughly the 1940s through the early 1960s, and feature the best examples of works by such renowned artists and writers as Carl Barks, John Stanley, Sheldon Mayer, Walt Kelly, Basil Wolverton, and George Carlson, among many, many others. 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"-- Provided by publisher.
