Publisher's Synopsis

In 1953, in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the World Series, legendary cartoonist Willard Mullin illustrated Ernest Thayer's Casey At The Bat. These images were then put on a series of drinking glasses that were given away as premiums at various major and minor league ballparks across America. They have been meticulously reproduced to create this stunning edition of Casey At The Bat. This edition will include additional Mullin material such as the 'Fan's Alphabet' from 1953.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
