SC, 128pg, FC, 9" x 12",
A super-sexy Marilyn Monroe leads off Volume 2-drawn as
only Frank Frazetta
could draw her! Monroe appears in all 12 panels of the first 1956 Sunday, setting the pace for the next two sizzling years. Highlights for Volume 2 include: Al Capp's legendary parody of busybody "Mary Worm" led "Mary Worth" creator Allan Saunders to reciprocate, casting Capp as a drunken and loutish cartoonist in
his strip. Others skewered are gay pianist Liberace (Loverboynik), bald actor Yul Brynner (Errol Skinn), actress Jayne Mansfield (Jayne Cornfield), and actress-turned-princess Grace Kelly (supplanted here by Daisy Mae Yokum) marrying the Prince of Monte Carload.
Regular cast members with plot time include Evil Eye Fleegle (with his powerful whammy), Hairless Joe and Lonesome Polecat, Moonbeam McSwine (who prefers the company of pigs to men) and ber-capitalist General Bullmoose. Each volume will contain an introduction and extensive annotations by
Li'l Abner expert Denis Kitchen, who provided the incisive text and annotations for Dark Horse's popular
Little Annie Fanny books.
