EISNER AWARD NOMINEE FOR BEST ARCHIVAL COMIC STRIP COLLECTION
When Maggie and Jiggs treat their daughter and her new British husband to a trip across North America, the resulting hijinx stretch From Sea to Shining Sea. This is the most famous and beloved story in the long history of the classic strip. Creator George McManus’s funny gags, outlandish costumes, eye-catching artwork, and lush, Art Deco designs are all on display in this deluxe volume, which features every daily and full-color Sunday from January 2, 1939 to July 7, 1940.
“From Sea to Shining Sea can be opened at any random page to present McManus as an exceptional cartoonist delivering buckets of personality, but topping that is his astonishing sense of design. Even restricted to three panels on the black and white daily strip, the patterns on Maggie’s dresses are bold and ever changing, art deco influences most prominent. However, it’s the Sunday colour pages that best showcase a first rate graphic imagination.”
