    Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Polly and her Pals!"

    Story and Art by Cliff Sterrett.

    By the early 1930s Cliff Sterrett had transformed Polly and Her Pals into the world's premier surrealistic comic strip. Sterrett's Sunday pages (also being published by The Library of American Comics) have long been hailed as individual masterpieces, but his daily strips-due to their rarity-have eluded archivists for the past ninety years. The strips reprinted here-the complete year of 1933 dailies-show Sterrett at his most inventive!

    Hardcover (Horizontal Format), 11 1/2-in. x 4 1/2-in., 336 pages, B&W.

    Cover price $24.99.

    1st printing.

    Written by Chip Kidd. Photography by Geoff Spear. Art by C.C. Beck, Mac Raboy and Jack Kirby.

    SHAZAM made his debut in Whiz Comics in 1940, and outsold his biggest competitor, Superman, by 14 million copies a month. Before too long, a variety of merchandise was produced - secret decoders, figurines, buttons, paper rockets, tin toys, puzzles, costumes - and a fan club was created to keep up with the demand.

    Seventy years later, an unprecedented assortment of these collectibles are gathered together by award-winning writer/designer Chip Kidd and photographer Geoff Spear. Join Kidd, Spear, and the World's Mightiest Mortal in this first, fully authorized celebration of ephemera, artwork, and rare, one-of-a-kind toys, and recapture the magic that was SHAZAM!

    Hardcover, 9 1/2-in. x 12-in., 224 pages, full color.

    Cover price $35.00.
