B.C. Is Alive and Well!

A short-lived but fondly remembered humor series from Gold Medal Books, B.C. Is Alive and Well! (1969–1987) collected the best of Johnny Hart's prehistoric single-panel comic strip B.C. into six paperback digests. Each volume gathered decades of gags featuring the caveman cast, from the grumpy Thor to the wisecracking Wiley, all delivered in Hart's signature minimalist style. While the strip itself ran for decades, these compact collections offered a handy, portable way to enjoy the series' timeless satire of modern life through a Stone Age lens.
