Al Capp's Li'l Abner: Complete Daily & Sunday Comics #1

This first volume of IDW's comprehensive series collects the earliest years of Al Capp's iconic hillbilly satire, presenting every daily strip and color Sunday page from 1934 through 1936. It covers the debut of the Yokum family in the impoverished town of Dogpatch, introducing readers to the lovable but dim-witted Li'l Abner, his scheming mammy Pansy, and the long-suffering Daisy Mae. The book preserves the strips in their original newspaper format, offering a pristine look at Capp's evolving art and the biting social commentary that would define the series for decades.
