Al Capp's Li'l Abner : The Frazetta Years - v. 1 : 1954-1955

Before legendary artist Frank Frazetta became an American institution for his lush paintings, he was drawing muscular hillbillies and scantily clad women for an earlier American institution: the comic strip Li'l Abner, which boasted 60 million readers daily.

From 1954 to 1961 Frazetta toiled as a ghost for Al Capp, the most famous and successful cartoonist of his era.

Volume 1 (of four) features The Bald Iggle (from Capp's Shmoo-and-Kigmy school of creatures with social messages), Loverboynik (a thinly disguised Liberace), and Milton the Masked Martian (an early super-hero parody) as well as Indian princess Minnie Mustache, Moonbeam McSwine, The Tigress, Daisy Mae Yokum, and Gloria Van Wellbilt - as only Frank Frazetta can draw them!
