The third volume of Alex Raymond's modernist classic, Rip Kirby,contains nearly three years of strips, from September 24, 1951 through April 17,1954, all rendered in Raymond's incredibly lush style. World's bestphotographer, the sexy Bijou Benson; a playboy sheik from Algiers; a revolutionin the Middle East; the return of criminals Joe Seven, Fingers Moray, and thedeadly Mangler; the deadly Lili Lavelle; all while Honey Dorian, of course, isnot happy that Pagan Lee re-enters the picture. Edited and designed by Eisner Award-winner Dean Mullaney, with abiographical and historical essay by BrianWalker.-The Library of American Comicsis the world's #1 publisher of classic newspaper comic strips, with 14 EisnerAward nominations and three wins for best book. LOAC has become "the goldstandard for archival comic strip reprints...The research and articles provideinsight and context, and most importantly the glorious reproduction of thematerial has preserved these strips for those who knew them and offers a newgateway to adventure for those discovering them for the first time." -Scoop
