This book is a great introduction to Beetle Bailey for those who have not met them before. And for those that are familiar with Beetle this is a great refresher. It's also a lot easier than having to wait for the next trip to come out.
The book follows more Walker and his transition into the position of Beetle Bailey comic strip writer. We also see how his character spider morphed into... more

I've always been a huge fan of B.C. I've been collecting B.C. books since 1969. This book is a great collection of the classics and the newer strips.

| 4. Supreme: The Return |

By: Alan Moore, Chris Sprouse
Publisher: Checker Book Publishing Group
April 03, 2003
I know from other reviews on this book that they were doing a "tribute" to Superman when they came up with Supreme, but damn, they didn't have to go out and rip off the entire DC universe as well! I had a hard time reading the stories here cause I was seriously distraced by matching up all of the characters here with the DC version they're ripping...I mean giving tribute to. I mean C'mon! Polyman?... more

| 5. Little Nemo In Slumberland HC Volume 2 Limited Edition | 
|
By: Winsor McCay
Publisher: Checker Book Publishing Group
May 29, 2007
Give Checker Book Publishing their due: they have mined the Winsor McCay motherload with great diligence. The physical dimensions of their books have often resulted in reprints that are of academic value only, but even that is better than all the gaps that have existed between infrequent and incomplete printings of "Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend" and "Little Nemo." McCay's work is not easy to reprint... more

| 6. Milton Caniff's Steve Canyon: 1949 (Steve Canyon Series) |
|
By: Milton Caniff
Publisher: Checker Book Publishing Group
May 01, 2004
My reviews for the first two issues of Checker's Steve Canyon series would suggest that my mind is made up in advance in its favour. Actually, the strip has a couple of strikes against it: 1) the hero is a little bland and too iconically good for my tastes and 2) while patriotism may have its place, if it crosses into jingoism it becomes an irritant. However, the sidekick Happy Easter provides a little... more

August 01, 2004
The third collection of Hellraiser comics has, as always, Clive Barker's name in its title, but Barker himself hasn't contributed with any of the scripts. His only contribution is a short preface, where he expresses his great pride in having created the short story The Hellbound Heart which over the years has grown into a life of its own and gained millions of fans all over the world. In 2006 The Scarlet... more

Throughout the 20th century, newspaper comic strips have been a staple of American popular culture.
