New Book: Otto Messmer’s Felix the Cat 1950’s Comic Book Stories

    Felix-the-cat-book-spine-and-cover Another treat for vintage comics fans: Craig Yoe has just put out a gorgeous new collection of Otto Messmer’s Felix the Cat comics from the fifties!

    Over 200 pages of comics and commentary from one of the greatest and most influential cartoonists ever: Otto Messmer. The stories are fun and surreal and very silly and cartoony -- a really fresh change of pace from the complicated comics of today. Otto Messmer's style changed a lot throughout his long career, and toward the end of his comic-book days he really embraced a beautiful kind of simplicity. This stuff is just great!

    I love the eye-catching design of the whole book. I just wish Otto Messmer’s name appeared on the cover.
