Red Barry: Undercover Man Volume 1 by Will Gould
Red Barry was one of the most visually innovative adventure strips of the mid-1930s, combining fluid brushwork and noir shadows (in bold blues and purples) with figures that were constantly in motion, plus a level of violence that brought cries of protest from its syndicate. This two-volume series reprints the complete dailies and color Sundays.
"Red Barry is the one successful detective comic strip and the only one worthy of consideration, from my scholarly viewpoint" --Anthony Boucher
"I will not tolerate such disgusting violence on my comics pages!" --William Randolph Hearst
"Why don't you leave him alone? He knows what he's doing. And it's goddammed good stuff!"--Dashiell Hammett
Will Gould (1911-1984), a sports cartoonist, developed a pair of syndicated sports comics before Red Barry became a national sensation. In the 1940s, he worked in Hollywood, and in the 1960s, he worked as a cartoon editor.
