The Complete Color Polly and Her Pals, Vol. 1: The Surrealist Period, 1926-1927

About this book

Polly and Her Pals launches our new oversized 12" x 16" hardcover "Champagne Edition" series with what historians and critics consider one of the essential masterpieces of comic strip art. Polly debuted in 1912 as one of the first "pretty girl" strips but it was in 1925 that Cliff Sterretts magnificent Sunday pages entered their peak period as he developed a style with distinctive surreal perspectives abstract backgrounds and bold vibrant use of color. Art Spiegelman says Polly and Her Pals is a glorious compositiona happy pop synthesis of Art Deco Futurism Surrealism Dada and Pure Cartoon.
