New Listings Daily, LET US KNOW WHAT COLLECTIONS & ASSORTMENTS You Would Like to See the Comics - Coulton Waugh Brooklyn makes yet another contribution to the planet. This book was first published in 1947 and immediately established a ridiculously high standard for a field of commentary that didn't even exist yet. Until ALL IN COLOR FOR A DIME (1970), John A Lent, and Fantagraphics came along it was sitting on the bookshelf almost all by itself, single handedly (and successfully) giving graphic story telling the historical sweep the medium deserved. Check out the table contents. It is a history (and a bit of prehistory) of newspaper strips from The Yellow Kid on, thematically organized and (arrrgh!) ending with the advent of the comic book as we know it. Rather than follow it up with another book on comics, he continued his work as a designer and artist. Luna Press (from BROOKLYN) reprinted THE COMICS in 1974. The original is ridiculously, and this edition barely got distributed. It was finally put into real (academic at least) circulation by the University of Mississippi in 1991 (great intro by Thomas Inge). Koch Comics, located in the belly of Brooklyn -- we have it ALL!

Coulton Waugh, 77, Cartoonist, Author of ‘The Comics,’ Dead. NEWBURGH, N. Y., May 26—Coulton Waugh, artist, cartoonist and author, died at his home here Wednesday. His age was 77. Mr. Waugh painted landscapes of the Hudson Valley and still‐lifes, often with slashes of brilliant color, and earlier did seascapes and scenes with figures. He took over the Milton Caniff comic strip, “Dickie Dare,” for the Associated Press in 1934, dropped it in 1944 and briefly did a new strip, “Hank,” for the newspaper PM. “Dickie Dare” was taken over by an assistant, Miss Odin Burwick, who later became Mr. Waugh's wife. In the nineteen‐twenties he did caricatures and other drawings for The New York World and The Tribune, His book “The Comics,” a history of comic strips and the artists who draw them, was published by the Macmillan Company in 1947. In it Mr. Waugh noted the social significance of the funnies and their place in art. “Comic books,” he wrote, “may emerge as the most natural, the most influential form of teaching known to man. Surely they would be justified if only to keep alive our priceless national art of laughter.” He was also the author of. “How to Paint With a Knife.” His paintings have been acquired by the Toledo and Davenport Museums in Ohio, by Syracuse University and the Cooperstown Art Association. He exhibited frequently at the Grand Central Art Galleries in New York. Mr. Waugh formerly taught at Orange County Community College and was curator of the Storm King Art Center in Mountainville. He was the son of Frederick J. Waugh, marine painter, and the grandson of Samuel Bell Waugh of Philadelphia, a wellknown artist in his time. He studied painting with his father, and at the Art Students League with George Bridgman. Surviving, besides his widow, are a son, John; a daughter, Mrs. Phyllis Goodmari, and a sister, Mrs. Gwenyth Clymer. The Comics. First published in 1947 and long out of print, this is considered by diehard aficionados of the comics as the best book ever written on the subject, and not just because it was the first. In this far-reaching study Coulton Waugh set down information that is now common lore, that the comics are revealing reflectors of society. For general readers and scholars alike, this new edition has a comprehensive index and an introduction by M. Thomas Inge, the notable scholar of popular culture and author of Comics as Culture .
