Inaddition to the daily and Sunday strips, this volume will present a truecollector''s item: Segar''s never-reprinted two-week ""World''s Fair"" continuity.This sequence has never been republished since its original publication 75 yearsago. This volume will also contain the conclusion of Donald Phelps''s incisiveand articulate critical essay on Segar''s work ""Real People, Real Theatre,"" andRichard Marschall''s insightful analysis of Segar''s continuity and storytechniques. E.C. Segar blended complex narratives, slapstick traditions,brilliant characterization, and an inimitable cartooning style to create themost exciting and profound humor of his era.
