By Al Capp and Frank Frazetta. 1956-57.
A sexy rendition of Marilyn Monroe starts off this volume, appearing in all 12 panels of the first strip. Also includes the legendary parody of Allen Saunders's Mary Worth, whom Capp titled "Mary Worm"--it earned Capp a reprisal in Saunders's strip, where he was cast as a loutish drunk. Other celebrity skewers include Errol Skinn (Yul Brynner), Jayne Cornfield (Jayne Mansfield), and Daisy Mae as Grace Kelly, marrying the Prince of Monte Carload. From 1954 until 1961 Frazetta ghosted for Al Capp on Li'l Abner. which boasted 60 million readers daily. For the first time, these gorgeous full-color Sundays are being collected in four volumes. You'll get the Sunday strips, plus an introduction and extensive annotations by Li'l Abner expert Denis Kitchen.
