Al Capp's Li'l Abner: Complete Daily & Sunday Comics #8

Al Capp's sardonic hillbilly world gets the deluxe treatment in this eighth volume collecting the complete dailies and color Sundays from 1949–1950. The cover, penciled and inked by Al Capp himself, features a menacing, sharp-suited Evil-Eye Fleegle looming large with a fist thrust toward the reader, flanked by circular portrait medallions spotlighting Abner Hisself, the glamorous La Nuisanceta, and the peculiar Kigmies — plus a silhouetted vehicle scene floating in the upper corner. Edited by Dean Mullaney and Bruce Canwell, this handsome $49.99 hardcover is a genuinely satisfying way to revisit one of American comics' most richly satirical strips in its prime.
