1st printing.

Written by Raoul Vezina, Tom Skulan, Roger Green, and Mitch Cohn. Art by Raoul Vezina and Bill Anderson. Cover by Raoul Vezina. Photography by Francis Parsons, Bill DeMichele, and Roger Green. Introduction by Tom Skulan.

This big volume collects all the art, advertisements, newspaper strips, greeting cards and comic book stories featuring the rascally rodent, Smilin' Ed Smiley created by the late cartoonist Raoul Vezina.

Smilin' Ed had a large following in the late 1970's and early 1980's until the untimely death of Vezina in 1984. Ed, a wisecracking rodent, gets involved with gangsters, crazed collectors, movie producers and even a television show. The humor is sly satire blended perfectly with Vezina's clever cartoon characters.

Lovin' Remembrances by Roger Green, Bill Anderson, Michael T. Gilbert, and Fred Hembeck, and a special heartfelt tribute from Raoul's sister, Maria Vezina.

Softcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 160 pages, B&W.

1st printing. Written by Peter Maresca. Cover by James Swinnerton. Mit Dose Kids, SOCIETY IS NIX! So said The Inspector about the Katzenjammer Kids. But he could have been speaking of all comic strips in their formative years in the early 1900s. From the very first color Sunday supplement, comics were a driving force in newspaper sales, offering a wild parody of the world and the culture found in the surrounding pages. Society didn't stand a chance! These are the origins of the American comic strip, born at a time when there were no set styles or formats, when creators had the freedom to experiment, when artistic anarchy helped spawn a new medium. The genesis of comics is laid out in a dozen essays by the greatest in their field—historians like Thierry Smolderen, Brian Walker, Alfredo Castelli, Bill Kartalopoulos, Paul C. Tumey and others. And in the second, revised edition of this seminal collection: over 200 comic strips! The earliest comics by acknowledged greats like R. F. Outcault, George McManus, Winsor McCay, and George Herriman, along with creations of more than fifty other superb cartoonists, known and unknown. The classic strips, most not printed in over 100 years, are presented in their original colors at the incredible oversized format Sunday Press is known for: all the better to see the comics that would inspire the next century of comics to come! Hardcover, 13-in. x 19-in., 168 pages, full color. Cover price $100.00.

Story and art by Dave Coverly. Forewoard by Nick Galifianakis.

This silver anniversary edition of Dave Coverly's Reuben award-winning Speed Bump collects 300 of his best cartoons into one full-color hardcover book.

25 years of ideas. 25 years of drawings. 25 years of coffee. Man, that's a lot of coffee.

Coverly's work has appeared in over 400 newspapers, including the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the Detroit Free Press, as well as in Parade magazine, textbooks, greeting cards, and even on that internet thingy. Dry and gentle not only describes Dave's hands, but his sense of humor as well. And while there are no guarantees in life, this new collection of Speed Bump cartoons hopes to make you think, smile, snort awkwardly, rethink, pause for a bathroom break, maybe get a second cup of coffee, and return to read a few more before realizing you really should be doing something a little more productive.
