By Donald Phelps; long-time NEMO: The Classic Comics Library readers will remember Phelps' elegant and eloquent essays on classic comic strips as one of the highlights of that magazine. In this extensive collection of his essays, which includes both previously-published pieces and many that have never before seen print, Phelps takes typically piercing and revelatory looks at over a dozen classic comic strip masterpieces, including Chester Gould's Dick Tracy, E.C. Segar's Thimble Theatre, and Frank King's Gasoline Alley.
