In the 1950s, John Stanley was one of America's most-loved and best-selling authors. Trouble was, he couldn't sign his name to his work. His "Little Lulu" and "Tubby" comics reached millions of readers. Stanley didn't get to sign his work until 1964, but his keen wit, brilliant storytelling and great characterizations identify his work better than a signature.  Comics scholar Frank M. Young (author of two graphic novels) has compiled and annotated a story-by-story, issue-by-issue chronology of John Stanley's most popular and prolific period--the years 1950 to 1960.   This black-and-white Standard Edition lacks the bells and whistles of the full-color Deluxe Edition, but contains all the information. Illustrated with thumbnails of every comic book cover of this decade, plus assorted ephemera, this is the most thorough and revealing publication to date on Stanley and his work. Invaluable for comics scholars, popular culture students and fans of John Stanley's "Little Lulu" and "Tubby," this is a major work of comics history and research.

The Tao of Yow - John Stanley's World: Seven Essays by Frank M. Young

A most unusual anthology of comix by young cartoonists. The fourth wall--that thing that causes us to believe a movie, comic strip or book's reality is valid--is shattered in a creative variety of ways (many of them very funny) by this think-tank of wit and experimentation! Inspirational cartooning for young artists--and fun for older readers. Smash!

IT’S COMIC-AL! is an anthology of work created by a large after-school class in Winter, 2016 at Portland, Oregon’s Alice Ott Middle School. Alice Ott is a gigantic school with a huge student body—it seems more like a small city, especially when that final school bell rings and the hall is full of students... all headed for that front door! Almost all... with the exception of the group of young creators who hung around after school to make comics—some of them for the very first time. There are some playful and clever moments in this anthology—proof that 21st-century thinking about comics has not gone stale. A lot of this work shows great promise, and I hope these young creative minds will continue to work in the medium of comics.
