Author Description

This is the eighteenth volume in the complete reprinting of Al Capp's Li'l Abner. It collects the 1952 daily strips and includes introductions by Al Capp and Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck. Each volume in this series contains complete, unabridged stories. In 1952, Al Capp shocked and delighted America with the marriage of Li'l Abner and Daisy Mae, an event that made headlines from coast to coast and earned the world's most popular hillbillies an unprecedented spot on the cover of Life Magazine -- indisputably the most celebrated event in the history of comics to this day. How the survivor of 15 hair-raising Sadie Hawkins Days finally ended up saying "Ah do"... the honeymoon from hell in New York... a visit from the ultimate in-laws, the murderous Scruggs... the newlyweds' much-delayed first kiss, and many more agonizingly funny complications -- are all inside this hilarious book!
