Descripción del artículo del vendedor

One commercial scrapbook, brown cloth over boards, measuring 12½" x 11¼", and over 100 loose leaves with a total of 274 pages and 434 pieces of comic book clippings pasted down and 15 pieces of original art laid in. Generally very good or better. This is a monumental collection of clipped strips, scenes and characters from the popular Katy Keene comic, complete with several pieces of original fan art. The character of Katy Keene was created by Bill Woggon for Wilbur Comics #5 (part of the Archie Comics series) in 1945. Marketed as "America's Queen of Pin-Ups and Fashions," Katy was a fashion designer, model and actress, driven by career ambitions and not, like other female characters, solely by romance. Readers were encouraged to submit their own designs for Katy's outfits; Woggon would draw them in and give full credit to the fan, printing their name, age, hometown, and sometimes a bio or photo as well. After several appearances in Archie books, Katy got her own title in 1949, with various spinoffs until 1961. She was revived by a fan in 1979, and officially by Archie Comics from 1983 to 1994. Katy Keene was given life again in 2020 as part of the New Riverdale comics line this time on a television show. The series focused on Katy's female friendships (over romance, once again) as well as issues of gender in the workplace. A TIME magazine review noted it was "Less about finding Prince Charming than it is about making your artistic dreams come true." These albums are stuffed with comic clippings, ranging from one- to two-inch characters or outfits to full-page scenes, and a few portions of comic books intact. We see "Katy Keene in Sea to Outer Space" with "rocket fashions, etc." by 15-year-old Bonnie Turner of Buffalo, New York, as well as on the set of "Katy's Dream Movie" and "a true story at Woggon Wheels Ranch." Other characters appear, like cowboy "Curly Cassidy," Katy's beaus "K.O." and "Randy," her little Sis," best friend "Lucki Lorelei" and professional rival "Gloria." Designs for her clothes and cars were devised by her fans, as were storylines and poems; Marilyn, 13, of Illinois wrote: "Katy is the Queen of Beauty / K.O. and Randy thinks she's a cutie . . . Lucki Red and Gloria, the / Rest in a Row / But Katy, wonderful, is the Star of this Show!" One reader sent ideas for her own wedding dress, seen modeled by her idol. Other clippings reveal "Katy's Mad Hatter Jokes," "Honeymoon Homes," fairy tale stories and "Fashions of the Ages." Woggon printed "Dance Pin-Ups for your album and pin-up collection" as well as "Katy's Pin-Up Board" featuring photographic head shots of 38 young fans. Over a dozen pieces of our compiler's original art and sketches are laid in. A fantastic collection of comic book clips, with a focus on fashion, ambition and the welcomed creativity of readers.…

Descripción de la tienda

You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, “The Extraordinary History of the Every Day”, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.…
