Written by BOB FINGERMAN. Art by GREG HYLAND & SCOTT SHAW. Cover by BILL MORRISON & NATHAN KANE. Tex Avery's crazy 1940s cartoons come to life in this all-new miniseries featuring that "wacky" rodent, Screwball Squirrel! In "Mauled at the Mall," Screwball has some rip-roarin' fun when he discovers his "ol' pal" Meathead the Dog working as mall security! But Screwball's pandemonium is no fun for Meathead, who soon finds out the mall's loyal customers want security all right...from him! As a bonus, the ever-lovable Red and the ever-ornery Wolf return! Old Wolfy's never gonna get a shot at Red if he keeps gettin' thrown outta her club! So he pulls a switcheroo on the bawdy bouncers and assumes a different identity! It's Prince and the Pauper, Avery style, in "Who's Afraid of the Big, Banned Wolf?"! Cover price $2.50.

By Paul C. Tumey.
The story of screwball comics, with new research and rare art from some of the most hilarious cartoonists of all time.
Before "screwball" became a movie genre, it was a staple of other forms of American culture, including newspaper comic strips. Emerging from the pressures of a rapidly accelerating technological and information-drenched society, screwball comics offered a healthy dose of laughter and perspective. Comics scholar Paul C. Tumey traces the development of screwball as a genre in magazine cartoons and newspaper comics, presenting the lives and work of around two dozen cartoonists, with an art-stuffed chapter on each.
Screwball! offers a wealth of previously un-reprinted comics, unleashing fresh views of some of America's greatest and most-loved cartoonists, including George Herriman (Krazy Kat), E.C. Segar (creator of Popeye), Winsor McCay (Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend), Rube Goldberg (The Inventions of Professor Lucifer G. Butts, A.K.) and Bill Holman (Smokey Stover). In addition, readers will be delighted to discover previously "lost" screwball masters including Gene Ahern (The Squirrel Cage), Gus Mager (Sherlocko the Monk), Milt Gross (Count Screwloose), George Swanson ($alesman $am) and many others.
Hardcover, 11-in. x 11-in., 272 pages, full color.
