The TOON Treasury of Classic Children's Comics is an
unprecedented collection of the greatest comics for
children, artfully compiled by two of the best-known
creators in publishing and the field of comics--Art
Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly. This treasury created for young readers focuses on comic
books, not strips, and contains humorous stories that range
from a single-page to eight or even twenty-two pages, each
complete and self-contained. The comics have been culled
from the Golden Age of comic books, roughly the 1940s
through the early 1960s, and feature the best examples of
works by such renowned artists and writers as Carl Barks,
John Stanley, Sheldon Mayer, Walt Kelly, Basil Wolverton,
and George Carlson, among many, many others. Organizing the book into five categories (Hey, Kids!; Funny
Animals; Fantasyland; Story Time!; and Wacky & Weird),
Spiegelman and Mouly use their expertise in the area of
comics to frame each category with an introductory essay,
and provide brief biographies of the artists. The TOON
Treasury of Classic Children's Comics is essential reading
for kids of all ages.
