AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Emile Mercier was possibly Australia's best-loved cartoon humourist. 
He created many satirical characters and parodies of comic heroes of the period, all presented in his unique Australian colloquial style. His serialised stories ran through such a diversity of comic book titles from wartime through the 1940s that it seems unlikely that many readers could have followed every episode.The collection in this book is a partial attempt to redress this, and perhaps help to rescue some of Mercier's work from the unjustified oblivion which ensnares so much of our "popular culture."'  (Publication summary)
