AL CAPPS LIL ABNER: THE FRAZETTA SUNDAYS V. 2 (1956-57) HC (Frank Frazetta) Marilyn Monroe leads off Volume 2 and appears in all 12 panels of the first 1956 Sunday. Highlights include: Al Capps parody of busybody Mary Worm led Mary Worth creator Allan Saunders to reciprocate, casting Capp as a drunken and loutish cartoonist in his strip. Others skewered are gay pianist Liberace (Loverboynik), bald actor Yul Brynner (Errol Skinn), actress Jayne Mansfield (Jayne Cornfield), and actress-turned-princess Grace Kelly (supplanted here by Daisy Mae Yokum) marrying the Prince of Monte Carload. Contains an introduction and extensive annotations by Denis Kitchen. 128 pp.
