Paul Tumey of The Comics Journal, listing his 20 comic favorites of 2015, says of the newly released White Boy in Skull Valley: “For me, this is the best book of the year.”
The book, published by Sunday Press Books is out January 8 2016. Read more about it here on the publisher’s website.
Here’s Mr. Price’s Ink Spill A-Z entry:
Garrett Price ( Pictured above. Source: Esquire Cartoon Album, 1957) Born, 1897, Bucyrus, Kansas. Died, April, 1979, Norwalk, Conn. Collection: Drawing Room Only / A Book of Cartoons (Coward -McCann, 1946). NYer work: 1925 -1974.
I really enjoyed seeing the August 1949 New Yorker cover on the publisher’s website (see the link). The young boy sliding into home plate was quintessentially American and reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell scene.
