Description

Ernie Bushmiller stated that his Nancy was created for "the gum chewers" and not the "caviar eaters." He might be surprised to find his work honored in an important art exhibition. Nancy herself would believe she deserves nothing less! By scholars, collectors, and fans, the importance of Ernie Bushmiller's work has been acknowledged in recent years as he takes his place among the great classic cartoonists. This book is a companion catalogue of artwork, memorabilia, and more from "The Nancy Show" a 2024 exhibition honoring Bushmiller at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. Included are high-quality images of over 100 pieces of Ernie Bushmiller original artwork, plus a biography by exhibition curator Brian Walker. A collector's story by Tom Gammil gives insights on Nancy artwork and displays a gallery of dolls, toys, and other merchandise. The Nancy Show also features contributions by authors Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden (How To Read Nancy), as well as notes from Bill Griffith, Patrick McDonnell, Ivan Brunetti, and others. The book also features a collection of the best Nancy Sunday pages from over the decades, meticulously restored and printed in near full-size, most never been reprinted in color before. This book gives comic lovers an opportunity to experience "The Nancy Show" exhibition long after it leaves the museum. It's a volume no Nancy fan should be without! Special bonus gift: This book includes a sheet of exclusive Nancy gift-wrapping paper, suitable for wrapping the book itself or anything else one might give to a Nancy lover.

Author Biography:

Peter Maresca is the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of high-quality, full-sized collections of classic American newspaper strips. His Sunday Press books represent a high-water mark in the reproduction and preservation of American comic strips. Maresca changed the concept of comic reprints in 2005 with his original-sized Little Nemo in Slumberland: So Many Splendid Sundays, Winsor McCay's groundbreaking strip. He continued with Sundays with Walt & Skeezix (Frank King's Gasoline Alley), George Herriman's Krazy Kat, Chester Gould's Dick Tracy, and a dozen others. Maresca lives a relatively non-virtual life in Palo Alto, CA.
