Skippy vs. the Mob #[nn]

Percy Crosby's beloved Depression-era comic strip hero gets a handsome archival treatment in this Rosebud Archives collection. The cover sets the stage perfectly: young Skippy squares off against a crowd of kids lined up along a fence, capturing all the scrappy neighborhood energy that made the strip a cultural touchstone. At $24.95, it's a substantial but satisfying way to spend time with one of early comics' most endearing characters.
