The Enigma Of Al Capp by Alexander Theroux
This incisive examination of Capp's life and career is back in print at last. From the author of The Strange Case of Edward Gorey comes a powerful portrait of a controversial giant in the comics world: the creator of the classic strip Li'l Abner, merchandising genius and outspoken extremist - from his early cartooning days ghosting for the creator of |Joe Palooka|, to his fame at the top of the field and his later years attacking John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Theroux comments, |Satire was his gift, and its ancillary weapons burlesque and parody|.Laura Warholic or, The Sexual Intellectual, Estonia, and the two artist monographs The Strange Case of Edward Gorey and The Enigma of Al Capp are among the works of Alexander Theroux, an award-winning novelist, poet, and teacher whose prose works include Laura Warholic or, The Sexual Intellectual, Estonia, and the two artist monographs The Strange Case of Edward Gorey and The Enigma of Al Capp. Anthony Burgess named his novel Darconville's Cat as one of the 99 best postwar novels. With his wife and children, he resides in Massachusetts.
