Alley Oop: The Complete Sundays #3

The cover says it all: V. T. Hamlin's prehistoric caveman Alley Oop bursts through a collage of Sunday newspaper strips, club raised high, while riding atop a speeding 1939 bus marked with his own name — a wonderfully playful image of a Stone Age hero crashing headlong into the modern world. This third volume of the complete Sunday strips spans 1939–1941, gathering Hamlin's full run of color pages from that pivotal stretch in one handsome collection. For fans of early American newspaper comics, it's a genuine treat to have these strips presented with such care.
