Compiled by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly, it includes Archie, Duck McScrooge, Supermouse, and Dennis the Menace. Together these comics pay tribute to the wackiness, humor, and truth to be found in the comic strip. Divided by subjects like “Funny Animals” and “Fantasyland,” the collection is a testament to the importance of comics in American literary culture. All Ages. Jory Hearst
