A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This incisive examination of Capp's life and career is back in print at last. From the author of The Strange Case of Edward Gorey comes a powerful portrait of a controversial giant in the comics world: the creator of the classic strip Li'l Abner, merchandising genius and outspoken extremist - from his early cartooning days ghosting for the creator of |Joe Palooka|, to his fame at the top of the field and his later years attacking John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Theroux comments, |Satire was his gift, and its ancillary weapons burlesque and parody|.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

by Alexander Theroux
Acclaimed writer Alexander Theroux (the former Harvard, Yale, and MIT professor best recognized for his novel Darconville's Cat and last year's The Primary Colors, which John Updike called "a unique gem"), delves into the well-known, yet often glossed over, dark side of one of our most celebrated funnymen, Al Capp, creator of Li'l Abner.
