PW: Fanta To Publish Bill Mauldin

image

This is the unexpected of the two forthcoming Fantagraphics announcements I hinted at in my San Diego convention report: Fantagraphics will publish a series of books featuring Bill Mauldin's cartoons from various points in his career. Although the late cartoonist was best known for his World War II era "Willie and Joe" cartoons, he was also a powerful editorial cartoonist, and I think people will be surprised at how lively his work from various periods could be. In addition, there's some work of his I don't think anyone outside of archivists has seen since it was originally published. This is great news.
