Review:
Copious full-color reproductions of covers and pages from Stanley's comics career, augmented by Schelly's incisive text, show just why Lulu's protofeminist escapades are held in such high regard.
The book is wonderful. Schelly did his homework and it shows. It's an all encompassing look at the life of one of the greats.
Classic comics history and expert cartoon research. What more can I say? Yow! Buy it now.
What a thrill it was to discover this beautifully designed, richly illustrated biography of Stanley... I hope someday my children will read this book, too, with as much pleasure as I did.
