Customer Reviews

Contains 32 pages of Dan Gordon comics reprints in COLOR!

This issue features a giant section of 1940's color comics reprints by legendary animator/cartoonist Dan Gordon. Fantagraphics did a great job with the reproduction and printing on these stories. The comics look sharp and clear, but still retain that "old comics" yellowed-page look. There are 32 full-color pages which include a Cookie story, two funny animal comedy comics starring Puss and Boots from ACG's Funny Films, and one story of the rabbit inventor, Blunderbunny!
