Adventurous Decade: Comic Strips in the Thirties SC
ADVENTUROUS DECADE: COMIC STRIPS IN THE THIRTIES SC (Ron Goulart) Long out of print, The Adventurous Decade is now available again, covering the background and art of such strips as Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Tarzan, Scorchy Smith, Dick Tracy, Terry and the Pirates, Prince Valiant, The Phantom, The Spirit, together with many seldom-discussed strips such as Bronc Peeler, Tex Throne, Roy Powers, Dan Dunn, and Tailspin Tommy. While the text of the book, based on interviews with such comic strip luminaries as Noel Sickles, Milton Caniff, Roy Crane, Alfred Andriola, Dick Moore, Mel Graff, Leslie Turner, and other important strip artists, remains unchanged, the book has been totally redesigned in a landscape format to showcase the artwork from these strips. 192 pp. (12x9)
