The Complete Milt Gross Comic Books and Life Story #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis comprehensive volume collects the complete comic book work of pioneering humorist Milt Gross, spanning his career from the 1930s through the 1950s. Published by IDW in association with Yoe Books, it includes a biographical overview of Gross's life and his contributions to early comic strips and comic books, featuring his signature slapstick and Yiddish-influenced humor. The collection gathers rare and previously hard-to-find material, offering a definitive look at a unique voice in American comics history.
A riotous slice of early 20th-century absurdity, "The Nation's Nitwit" finds Moronica scrambling to impress Mister Willoughby with a dinner she’s determined to make perfect—only to unleash a culinary chaos that’s as hilarious as it is unforgettable. This 2010 IDW/Yoe Books collection spotlights Milt Gross’s singular voice, with every line, panel, and lettering flourish drawn and signed by the man himself, capturing his manic energy in full. The cover, also by Gross, perfectly encapsulates the zany spirit of the story.
Mironica’s attempt to impress Mister Willoughby with a special dinner takes a chaotic turn when her secret ingredient—well, let’s just say it’s not on any menu—sets off a whirlwind of kitchen mayhem. With her parents and Mrs. Finch watching, and even a cameo from Natch Kilroy and Jackson, the evening spirals into a deliciously absurd domestic comedy.
