Out April 8, 2014
Alice like you've never seen her before! Some of the greatest comic book
artists ever to put pen to paper tumble down the rabbit hole for their
own unique look at Lewis Carroll's famous creation! Walt Kelly, Alex
Toth, Dan DeCarlo, George Carlson, MAD-men Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Davis,
and Dave Berg, the Simon and Kirby Shop, the Walt Disney Studios,
pioneering Yellow Kid creator R. F. Outcault, and many more visit
Wonderland and write... draw!... home to tell about it! You'll be
astonished to see Alice gruesomely starring in the banned horror comic
book stories of the 1950s, as the basis of a romance comic, riding on a
flying saucer, meeting Santa Claus, as a teeny-bopper, hanging out with
famous comic characters, going to the weird Monkey Island, looking like
Alfred E. Neuman, selling out to pimp bread... and even have a sex
change - TWICE! The fascinating - sometimes bizarre - comics, the rare
original art, a special introduction by Mark Burstein, president of
Lewis Carroll Society of North America, and a revealing foreword by the
award-winning comics historian Craig Yoe make this book truly a wonder!
Alice in Comicland will leave you grinning like the Cheshire cat!
