Brock, H: Willard Mullin's Golden Age Of Baseball

The years 1930-1970 were the Golden Age of both American sports and American comic strips, and we turn your attention to a neglected part of the art form "sports cartooning "and to its greatest practitioner, Willard Mullin.Willard Mullin (TM)s Golden Age of Baseball: Drawings 1934-1972 collects for the first time Mullin (TM)s best drawings devoted to baseball. Mullin was to baseball players what Bill Mauldin was to soldiers: advocate and critic, investing them with personality, humanity, dignity, and poignancy; Mauldin had Willie & Joe and Mullin had the Brooklyn Bum, his affectionate 1939 character representing the bedraggled figure of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
