Clifford

This superb collection reprints the very earliest work by Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer - much of it shot from the original art! "Clifford" reprints most of the weekly humor strips Feiffer did for Will Eisner's Spirit newspaper insert, and includes a seven-page Spirit/Clifford story done by Feiffer and Eisner! This charming precursor to Dennis the Menace and Calvin and Hobbes continues in the next volume.

" The Collected Works clearly shows Jules Feiffer's development as a comics pioneer and as an artist, writer, and social commentator of the first degree, beginning with his witty-but-wide-eyed boy characters Clifford and Munro (both startlingly prescient of such hits as Calvin and Hobbes). - Los Angeles Reader
