Customer Reviews

Great cartoonist, great sports editorialist

Anyone who grew up enjoying Bill Gallo's cartoons in the sports pages of the New York Daily News will delight in this collection, spanning all the decades of Gallo's career. Features all the famous (and infamous) sports figures and events you remember, and plenty of Gallo's beloved characters like Basement Bertha, Yutchie, and General Von Steingrabber. Smart, funny, moving, nostalgic.

The Sports Cartoon Encyclopedia

"Drawing A Crowd" is filled with great sports cartoons and so much more. Bill takes you "behind the scenes" of the cartoons. He offers insight into the athletes, where we stood as a nation when the cartoon was published, and what was going on in his life at the time. Although Bill has spent his career at The NEW YORK Daily News, "Drawing A Crowd" contains cartoons of all the big athletes from all over the country throughout the decades. Thank you, Mr. Gallo, for finally putting this book together. "Drawing A Crowd" holds a prominent spot in my private library.
