{"product_id":"an-alley-oop-treasury-standard-color-edition","title":"AN ALLEY OOP TREASURY  STANDARD COLOR EDITION","description":"\u003cp\u003eALLEY OOP first appeared in the comic strips of Bonnet-Brown on December 5, 1932. When that\u003cbr\u003e\ncompany closed its doors four month later, the strip migrated over to Newspaper Enterprise\u003cbr\u003e\nAssociation. The strip was created by V.T. Hamlin, who both drew and wrote the series for nearly forty\u003cbr\u003e\nyears.\u003cbr\u003e\nSince Alley Oop was a caveman, his adventures, at first, were confined to the Bone Age in the Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e\nof Moo. He was joined in his exploits with his pet dinosaur Dinny and his girlfriend Ooola. In 1939\u003cbr\u003e\nHamlin introduced Dr. Elbert Wonmug and his time machine to the strip. This opened up a whole new\u003cbr\u003e\ndirection for the comic as Alley Oop traveled to Camelot, Ancient Egypt, Sherwood Forest and even the\u003cbr\u003e\nold west of America. Alley Oop was full of laughs, action, adventure and even science fiction. The strip\u003cbr\u003e\nhas stood the test of time and continues to be excellent reading fare today.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Alley Oop series is primarily known for its history in comic strips, but there were some comic books\u003cbr\u003e\nbased on the characters as well. Unfortunately not a lot of them are in the public domain and locating\u003cbr\u003e\ndecent scans of the ones that are is a challenge. This book collects the three issues published by Argo\u003cbr\u003e\nPublications and two of the issues published by Standard Comics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RETRO COMIC REPRINTS","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44928958038177,"sku":"9798891525566","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/95qy9wp-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747581613","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/an-alley-oop-treasury-standard-color-edition","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
