Al Capp's Bald Iggle

Al Capp’s Bald Iggle is a single-issue comic from 1956, published by Simon and Schuster, that stands as a curious one-off in the cartoonist’s celebrated career. Written and drawn entirely by Capp, best known for his long-running Li’l Abner strip, this book offers a self-contained glimpse into his signature blend of satirical humor and expressive, rough-hewn art. Though brief, it’s a notable artifact for fans of mid-century American comics, showing Capp stretching into a standalone format outside his daily newspaper work.
