{"product_id":"an-alley-oop-treasury-hardcover-standard-color-edition","title":"AN ALLEY OOP TREASURY HARDCOVER STANDARD COLOR EDITION","description":"\u003cp\u003eALLEY OOP first appeared in the comic strips of Bonnet-Brown on December 5, 1932. When\u003cbr\u003e\nthat company closed its doors four month later, the strip migrated over to Newspaper\u003cbr\u003e\nEnterprise Association. The strip was created by V.T. Hamlin, who both drew and wrote the\u003cbr\u003e\nseries for nearly forty years.\u003cbr\u003e\nSince Alley Oop was a caveman, his adventures, at first, were confined to the Bone Age in the\u003cbr\u003e\nKingdom of Moo. He was joined in his exploits with his pet dinosaur Dinny and his girlfriend\u003cbr\u003e\nOoola. In 1939 Hamlin introduced Dr. Elbert Wonmug and his time machine to the strip. This\u003cbr\u003e\nopened up a whole new direction for the comic as Alley Oop traveled to Camelot, Ancient\u003cbr\u003e\nEgypt, Sherwood Forest and even the old west of America. Alley Oop was full of laughs, action,\u003cbr\u003e\nadventure and even science fiction. The strip has stood the test of time and continues to be\u003cbr\u003e\nexcellent reading fare today.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Alley Oop series is primarily known for its history in comic strips, but there were some\u003cbr\u003e\ncomic books based on the characters as well. Unfortunately not a lot of them are in the public\u003cbr\u003e\ndomain and locating decent scans of the ones that are is a challenge. This book collects the\u003cbr\u003e\nthree issues published by Argo Publications and two of the issues published by Standard Comics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44597986132129,"sku":"9798891525573","price":57.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/je9v25w-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1725404439","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/an-alley-oop-treasury-hardcover-standard-color-edition","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
