Overview

SMOKEY STOVER, THE ORIGINAL FOO FIGHTER FIRST APPEARED AS PART OF THE CHICAGO
TRIBUNE NEWSPAPER SYNDICATE IN 1935 BY CARTOONIST BILL HOLMAN. KNOWN FOR IT
PUNS, WEIRD INVENTIONS AND SIGHT GAGS, SMOKEY STOVER WAS AN EXTREMELY POPULAR
COMIC STRIP FOR FOURTY YEAR. SMOKEY STOVER HIMSELF BECAME THE MASCOT OF MANY
BOMBERS PLANES DURING WORLD WAR TWO AND IS STILL THE POPULAR MASCOT OF
MULTIPLE FIREHOUSES TODAY.
THE COMICS IN THIS COLLECTION ARE FROM THE PAGES OF DELL'S POPULAR COMICS SERIES,
IN WHICH SMOKEY STOVER APPEARED IN NEARLY A HUNDRED ISSUES. SINCE MANY OF THE
STRIPS WERE PLACED ON THE INSIDE COVERS OF THE COMIC, THEY WERE PROCESSED IN TWO
TONE RED RATHER THAN IN FULL COLOR. ALSO, NOT ALL OF THE IMAGES ARE CONSISTENT IN
QUALTY SINCE THE CONTENTS WERE GLEANED FROM A HUNDRED DIFFERENT ISSUES. THAT
DISCLAIMER SAID, THIS IS A HYSTERICALLY FUNNY COLLECTION OF OVER TWO HUNDRED
STRIPS FULL OF SCREWBALL HUMOR, SLAPSTICK AND JOKES.
THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE IN BOTH HARDCOVER AND TRADE PAPERBACK EDITIONS AS WELL AS
IN FULL COLOR AND BLACK & WHITE.
