While we're on the subject of classic newspaper comics, we'll take this opportunity to let you know that, yes, the second collection of Frank King's almighty classic, Gasoline Alley is currently gracing our humble shelves. Designed, once again, by Chris Ware, this volume has even more support material than the first collection. A lengthy introduction by comics scholar, Jeet Heer and end notes by Tim Samuelson are accompanied by an amazing selection of photographs from the King family album, sketches and watercolors, scrap-book clippings and other ephemera that together make an excellent frame for the over six-hundred daily strips this volume contains.
