The Yellow Kid #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume celebrates the centennial of Richard F. Outcault's pioneering newspaper strip, widely regarded as the first true American comic strip. It collects the complete run of The Yellow Kid's appearances from the New York World and New York Journal, alongside historical essays and rare ephemera that contextualize the character's role in shaping the comics medium and popular culture. Published by Kitchen Sink Press in 1995, this hardcover edition serves as a definitive retrospective on the mischievous bald child whose yellow nightshirt gave rise to the term 'yellow journalism.'
"A Lion in Love" presents a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of R. F. Outcault’s distinctive comedic style, set against the backdrop of early comic journalism’s tensions with the mainstream newspaper industry. Written by Bill Blackbeard and illustrated by Outcault himself—pencils and inks—this 1995 Kitchen Sink Press issue captures the artist’s creative journey with a sharp, period-specific eye. The cover, also by Outcault, mirrors the story’s historical tone with its bold, expressive line work.
