John Stanley's Summer Fun

A 2011 one-shot from Drawn & Quarterly, John Stanley's Summer Fun collects a selection of the legendary writer-artist’s 1950s and 1960s comic strips, originally published in Dell’s Summer Fun series. This volume showcases Stanley’s signature blend of deadpan humor, quirky character dynamics, and offbeat suburban adventures, offering a compact introduction to his work outside the Little Lulu universe. It’s a charming, single-issue snapshot of a master cartoonist at play.
