Chris Ware has often cited Gasoline Alley as one of his favorite comics strips ever, and he has lovingly edited and designed Walt & Skeezix Book One, the first ever collection and multi-volume series of the classic newspaper strip by one of the pioneering giants of American comics strips, Frank King. Not only does this volume reprint the first two years of the strip in which Frank King's friendly and nostalgic imagination took shape, but each book in the series features an 80-page color introduction by writer Jeet Heer of The Boston Globe. Each introduction in the series also features never-before-seen archival photos and ephemera from the personal collection of King's granddaughter. Walt & Skeezix is not just reprinting the classic American newspaper strip, it is the story of a great American carttoonist. This hardcover book will sport an oversize fold-out dustjacket by Chris Ware, and Walt & Skeezix will prove to be one of the year's most anticipated new books.
