Wild! A-list comic strip celebrities starring in individual ads, wrapped up by a pair of all-star crossovers with each character drawn by its own artist. Thanks for this delightful rarity.

What a great little special book. This was the kind of giveaway treasure that I loved receiving from my parents, grandparents, and uncles and aunts in Canada and The Netherlands in the late 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s, who knew I collected comics, and sometimes shopped at places I didn't go, and otherwise wouldn't have had access to them. I collect The "Katzenjammer Kids", "Bringing Up Father", Barney Google & Snuffy Smith", and have a lot of books containing "Boob McNutt" Sunday pages, and used to also read most of these strips in the Sunday Newspapers. They bring back memories of my youth. And drawn by their original artists! Nice to be able to get this on CB+. It's the kind of giveaway I might have missed had I been a kid comics collector in the 1920s.
