Publisher's Synopsis

Collects the dailies and recoloured Sundays of the short-lived modernist 1950s newspaper strip by Gene Deitch, the award-winning animator and creator of Tom Terrific. Terr'ble Thompson is a very odd little boy who had his Werle Hedd Quarters' in a tree house and was regarded far and wide as the 'most best hero of all time'. This collection features annotations and essays for the entire run of the strip by Deitch, as well as essays by his cartoonist son Kim and comics historian Dan Nadel (The Ganzfeld).'

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.
