Synopsis:
This incisive portrait of controversial cartoonist Al Capp is back in print at last. Written by the author of the acclaimed "The Strange Case of Edward Gorey", it features rare photos and Capp cartoons from throughout his career. Al Capp was a controversial giant in the comics world: the creator of the classic strip Li'l Abner, merchandising genius and outspoken extremist. Theroux's biography examines his life from his early cartooning days ghosting for the creator of Joe Palooka, to his fame at the top of the field and his later years attacking John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Theroux comments, "Satire was his gift, and its ancillary weapons burlesque and parody".
About the Author:
Alexander Theroux is an award-winning novelist, poet, and teacher whose prose works include Laura Warholic or, The Sexual Intellectual, Estonia, and the two artist monographs The Strange Case of Edward Gorey and The Enigma of Al Capp. His novel Darconville's Cat was chosen by Anthony Burgess as one of the 99 greatest post-war novels. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife and children.
