KELLY CARTOONIST AMERICA TURNS TO TP

Sticking it to the sickos and giving props to the patriotic, Kelly's super-award-winning cartoons "tell it like it is" and frame today's crucial issues in context so you don't have to. This lavish, soft-cover 50th Anniversary Collection, compiled by acolyte Ward Sutton and loaded with bonus extras, presents the best of Kelly in his signature, eye-popping black and white. It's a trip every Kellyhead has been dying to take!
