Book One

Frank King

edited by Chris Ware; introduction by Jeet Heer

Gasoline Alley started in 1919 as a mild satire on the post-World War I craze for cars. It quickly developed into a quirky, affectionate portrait of family life, attracting more than 30 million readers in over 400 newspapers. Great for cartoon and pop culture fans alike, this inaugural title in a multi-volume series reprints the first two years of Gasoline Alley.

Frank King was a pioneering giant of American comic strips. His Gasoline Alley became one of the most widely read strips in North America until his death in 1969. Chris Ware is one of the best-known cartoonists working today.
