Feiffer The Collected Works, Volume 3 "Sick, Sick, Sick"

In 1956, an unknown cartoonist named Jules Feiffer began drawing a weekly comic strip called Sick, Sick, Sick free of charge for a then-obscure weekly newspaper called the Village Voice .Within two years, Feiffer had become one of the most popular satiristsof the period, appearing in several major newspapers in the U.S. andGreat Britain, and with a best-selling book under his belt.Feiffer: The Collected Works Vol. 3 contains the first two scintillating years of this strip (later re-dubbed simply Feiffer ),shot mostly from the original art. But that's not all! This volume alsoincludes "Boom," Feiffer's savage take on H-bomb testing, governmentduplicity, and public apathy. "The Deluge" takes a modern everyman,Harvey Noah, and gives him the daunting task of warning the world ofimpending flood by going through proper bureaucratic channels. "Kept"is the story of a small, ugly man who discovers the awful secret ofsuccessful seduction. In "Harold Swerg," the title character is thegreatest athlete in the world; he upsets the nation when he refuses towin the Olympics because there's no challenge in it.As a special bonusthis book includes "Rollie," a never-before-printed 10-page story fromthat period, about a bass player whose playing sends everyone who hearsit into orbit. This story, which languished in Feiffer's files forclose to four decades, is a great lost treasure, and absolutelycritical to any Feiffer fan!This is the Feiffer work we've all beenwaiting for, the classic cartoons that assured him a place in thePantheon of great American cartoonists and eventually won him aPulitzer Prize.Feiffer, Jules is the author of 'Feiffer The Collected Works, Volume 3 "Sick, Sick, Sick"', published 1990 under ISBN 9781560970316 and ISBN 1560970316.
