In most comics histories, the Yellow Kid is represented with a close-up of the character himself--which has never been very interesting. Seeing the whole magnificent illustrations the Kid is a part of is inspiring. Outcault is not just an historical oddity--he's great!

WOW! I have been looking for a copy of this book for quite a long time. The original print edition of this comic book is among the rarest of any comic book. Thanks for uploading this to Comic Book +. Comic Book + is an excellent site ! computerjockey

some background info about the yellow kid. Yellow Kid was created during the time when yellow fever was killing many people in the U.S. If a family member contracted yellow fever the family did not talk about it to others for fear of being isolated from the community. This (along with no known cure or protection from the disease) help spread the disease. I think Robert Outcault and William Randolph Hearst did a great thing for Americans by publishing The Yellow Kid as it helped people to talk openly about yellow fever and take action to do what they could to help reduce the spread of The Fever.
