John Stanley: Giving Life To Little Lulu

John Stanley: Giving Life To Little Lulu

This is a biography of one of the most influential â€œgirl powerâ€ comic book writer/artists (Little Lulu, Nancy) of the mid-20th century.
This is a deluxe, full-color, coffee table book biography; the first ofÂ one of Americaâ€™s greatest storytellers. It's filled with beautifully reproduced artwork from the comic books Little Lulu, and his creations Melvin Monster and Thirteen(Going on Eighteen); rare drawings and cartoons; and never-before-seen photographs. Bill Schelly tells Stanleyâ€™s life story through interviews with his family, friends, and colleagues: his childhood in Harlem and the Bronx, life with his strict Irish Catholic mother, his education at Parsons, his first job as an animator at Max Fleischer Studios, and his years working as a commercial artist, before finding his true mÃ©tier in comic books during World War II (while battling clinical depression and alcoholism). Prose with illustrations.
