The book will be compiled by Mouly and Spiegelman with the help of an advisory board that includes Jeff Smith, Frank Young, Seth, Steve Geppi, Paul Levitz, Jeet Heer, John Benson, and Chris Duffy, among others\u2014some of the most knowledgeable experts, artists, writers, historians, editors, collectors, and critics in the field. The TOON Treasury of Funny Comic Books for Kids is scheduled for publication on the AbramsComicArts\u2019 fall 2009 list.<\/p>\n<p>Kochman commented, \u201cKids love comics\u2014reading them seems to be hardwired into our collective DNA so that we respond readily to the material if we encounter it at an early age. We have all seen the incredible success of Jeff Smith\u2019s Bone and Jeff Kinney\u2019s Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, and we know that when kids have access to comics made for them, they devour the stories. Who better than Fran\u00e7oise and Art to sort through the material from our glorious past and present it to a new generation?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Art Spiegelman says, \u201cNow that comics are no longer automatically dismissed as trash we can demonstrate that the best of them stand among the greatest literature produced for children in the past century\u2014and some of most sophisticated works done for comics were the humor books for younger children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lavishly produced, large-format TOON Treasury of Funny Comic Books for Kids will focus on comic books, not strips, and will feature humorous stories that range from a single page to eight or sixteen pages, each comic self-contained. Stories will be culled from the golden age of comic books, roughly the 1940s through the early 1960s, and feature the best examples of the works of such renowned cartoonists as Carl Barks (legendary Disney artist), John Stanley (Little Lulu), Sheldon Mayer (Sugar and Spike), Walt Kelly (Pogo), Basil Wolverton (Powerhouse Pepper), and George Carlson (Jingle Jangle comics), among many, many others. Along with the stories, the book will contain historical and biographical information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ENGLISH] Abrams ComicArts tells us: It was announced today
