Omschrijving
Our second volume in a new series collecting
Ernie Bushmiller’s timeless and beloved
Nancy! Who’s lit now, Sluggo?
Nancy is an American icon. She’s timeless. She’s a meme.
The world-famous artist Andy Warhol once painted her
portrait. She’s been on a postage stamp. To this day, when
you look up “comic strip” in The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, it shows a Nancy comic
by Bushmiller! As another famous cartoonist once put it,
“It’s easier to read a Nancy comic than it is to not read one.”
Nancy, along with on-and-off again boyfriend Sluggo,
deliver absurd laughs panel after panel, all rendered in Bushmiller’s
chiseled cartoon perfection that feels untethered to time or place. An
acknowledged masterpiece of humor and cartooning, Nancy’s brand
of lowbrow absurdism and unexpected visual delights have held sway
over generations of early readers, artists and celebrities, to say nothing
of its impact on American culture as a whole! Bushmiller created Nancy
from 1938 to 1982, and in recent years, interest in his work has surged
to a fever pitch.
Jam-packed with over 300 comic strips from the years 1951–1952,
Nancy For All Seasons features a fresh and contemporary new design
that will entertain all ages.
