Graphic Novel
A lavish coffee table book devoted to the most important
political satire and cartoon magazine in American history.
Published from 1877 to 1918, Puck was regularly a major
political battleground and is credited with single-handedly
thwarting the third-term ambitions of Ulysses Grant in 1880
and electing Grover Cleveland to the presidency in 1884. Puck did it with art - lavish, color, full-page and two-page
centerspread cartoons. It was the first American magazine to
publish color lithographs on a weekly basis and, for nearly
forty years, was a training ground and showcase for some of
the country's most talented cartoonists, led by its
co-founder, Joseph Keppler. This retrospective contains nearly 300 full-color plates.
