Alley Oop versus the Moonmen #[nn]

V. T. Hamlin's beloved cave-age adventurer takes center stage in this 2023 collection, with a cover that perfectly sets up the wild collision of eras: on one side, Alley Oop and a companion scramble through a jungle tree, while on the other, a gleaming flying saucer has landed among a group of slim, antenna-bearing Moonmen. The visual contrast between prehistoric roughhousing and sleek extraterrestrial visitors captures exactly the kind of genre-bending fun that made Hamlin's strip so enduringly entertaining. A great showcase of Hamlin's charming linework and his gift for dropping his knuckle-dragging hero into the most unexpected situations.
