Carl Anderson’s classic comic strip character Henry was certainly not your average-looking youngster, with knobby knees, a pencil neck, and a bulbous, bald head but, for years, he entertained millions of readers worldwide with his pantomime pranks. He was also the subject of a long-running comic book series, with one significant difference from the newspaper strip – in the comic books, Henry spoke! Written and drawn by John Liney, who also handled art chores on the daily Henry strip, these stories were done in a Tintin-esque clean-line art style that made them attractive to the younger set, but with writing clever enough to cause the adults to chuckle while reading to their children. These 1940s-’50s stories have never before been reprinted, and this collection provides a long-overdue look at a forgotten “kid’s comic” masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896664883253,"sku":"ByrdShop_1606997335","price":43.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781606997338.jpg?v=1793778707","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/henry-speaks-for-himself-9781606997338","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
