The Complete Funky Winkerbean #1

This first volume of the comprehensive Funky Winkerbean reprint series collects the earliest years of Tom Batiuk's long-running newspaper comic strip, from its 1972 debut through 1974. It presents the formative strips that introduced the original cast of Westview High School students, including the title character, in black-and-white daily and color Sunday formats, with historical annotations and commentary from the creator. Published by Kent State University Press, this hardcover edition is the definitive starting point for following the strip's decades-long evolution from teen humor to a more dramatic, real-time narrative.
