Description
Fearless Fosdick Advertising Mock-up Presentation Book (Capp Enterprises, 1950s). Al Capp's viciously funny parody of Dick Tracy, Fearless Fosdick, was not only Li'l Abner's "ideel", but also the subject of a huge advertising campaign. Like Capp's earlier Shmoo, this wacky creation tickled the fancy of average Americans, and made a great pitch person for Wildroot hair oil, among other items. This hefty scrapbook was produced as a presentation piece for a proposed TV series, plus other aspects and printed samples from the Li'l Abner strip, plus a few pages of specially prepared original art (not by Capp). The elements of the scrap book are mostly beginning to come loose, but what remains is fascinating. The cover to the book has separated, and some items are missing, and the overall condition is Fair.Auction Info
