Al Capp's Li'l Abner: The Frazetta Years #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects Li'l Abner daily and Sunday strips from 1956 and 1957, a period when legendary fantasy artist Frank Frazetta was ghosting the art for Al Capp's iconic hillbilly satire. The stories include the complete 'Li'l Abner Meets the Shmoos' arc and other classic sequences, showcasing Frazetta's dynamic figure work before he left the strip. Dark Horse's second volume in this series preserves the original newspaper color and includes historical notes on the collaboration.
In "Milton the Masked Man," General Bullmoose's desperate bid to impress exotic dancer Bagmar backfires when his look-alike double takes over his life—complete with his reputation. With help from Li'l Abner, the real Bullmoose tries to reclaim his identity by exposing the double's misdeeds, but the plan unravels when Bagmar rejects him upon learning the truth. Written by Al Capp and illustrated with bold flair by Frank Frazetta, this 2003 Dark Horse issue brings the classic satire of Li'l Abner to life with dynamic art and a twisty tale of identity and ego. The cover, a collaborative effort by Al Capp and Frank Frazetta, captures the story’s flamboyant spirit.

In hopes of pursuing exotic dancer Bagmar, General Bullmoose commissions a double, but the imitation Bullmoose is so successful that he takes over the real Bullmoose's life. General Bullmoose enlists Li'l Abner's help in confronting the double with a list of the real Bullmoose's crimes, which he threatens to publish. Aghast at having people think that he is so depraved, the double agrees to switch places again. But now Bagmar, having read the confession, spurns the real Bullmoose.
