For the first time ever, Hermes Press and Bill Janocha (Walker's assistant) present a rare selection of gags and art from Walker's early years, before Beetle-mania took over the world. This historical book contains examples of the work he did prior to Beetle Bailey, and explores the evolution of his style and showcases his many gags, from his early comics in Showme magazine to the work he did for the Saturday Evening Post. This tome also contains historical essays detailing his life and career, up until his death in 2018 as written by Janocha. This special project has been nine years in the making, and is something any fan of Mort Walker will need to own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Janocha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1613451806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613451809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hermes Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.25h x 8.50w x 0.25d","brand":"Bill Janocha","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44046793638143,"sku":"9781613451809","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3128f7ea-f9ec-409c-afb8-20f9b6c1ec4d.jpg?v=1684986525","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/birth-of-a-beetle-bill-janocha-9781613451809","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
