About this title

Synopsis

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 Sterrett's 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 composition…a happy pop synthesis of Art Deco, Futurism, Surrealism, Dada, and Pure Cartoon.”
