READING THE FUNNIES collects Donald Phelps' essays on early 20th Century newspaper strips - the Golden Age of comic strips, when readers avidly followed the daily and weekly adventures of Flash Gordon, Little Nemo, and Krazy Kats, a time when the critic Gilbert Seldes could write, "Of all the lively arts the Comic Strip is the most despised and, with the exception of the movies, it is the most popular." Most of the essays in this book appear here for the first time. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 306 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.95.

1st printing. Edited by Michel Choquette. The Someday Funnies is the long-awaited collection of comic strips created in the early 1970s by world-famous artists and writers such as C. C. Beck, René Goscinny, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Kirby, Moebius, Art Spiegelman, and Gahan Wilson. What started out as a special insert for Rolling Stone took on a life of its own as writer/editor Michel Choquette traveled the world, commissioning this visual chronicle of the 1960s, only to find himself without a publishing partner or the financial support to continue. Forty years later, readers finally get to experience this legendary anthology as Choquette celebrates the birth, death, and resurrection of The Someday Funnies - 129 previously unpublished strips by 169 writers and artists. hardcover, 12-in. x 16-in., 216 pages, full color. Cover price $55.00.

1st printing. Story and art by Stan MacK. Sketchbook in hand, Stan Mack haunted the New York City environs, watching, listening, overhearing, and interviewing its inhabitants. He drew a comic strip every week based on what he saw and heard, famously using verbatim dialogue for his graphic dramatizations. A mixture of humor, spontaneity, serendipity, and weirdness, Mack's comic strip snapshots caught New Yorkers -whether it is an extortionist calligrapher, a baby evading arrest at her first protest, a stroll up Broadway with a ferret, an evening with a male liberationist, or an unlucky-in-love dolphin trainer- being who they are in all their unguarded and uninhibited glory. Hardcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 336 pages, B&W. Cover price $50.00.
