Doonesbury

G. B. Trudeau's Doonesbury (1973–1976, Sheed & Ward) collects the earliest years of his landmark daily comic strip, introducing the sprawling cast of Princeton students, antiwar activists, and political figures that would define a generation of American satire. This single-issue volume captures Trudeau's distinctive, deceptively simple line art and his sharp, conversational dialogue, which together turned a college humor strip into a national chronicle of the 1970s counterculture. As the first collected edition of a strip that would run for decades, it matters as the foundational document of a series that redefined what comics could say about politics and daily life.
