This monograph seeks to recover and assess the critically neglected
comic strip work produced by the Irish painter Jack B. Yeats for
various British publications, including Comic Cuts, The Funny
Wonder, and Puck, between 1893 and 1917. It situates the work in
relation to late-Victorian and Edwardian media, entertainment and
popular culture, as well as to the evolution of the British comic
during this crucial period in its development. Yeats' recurring
characters, including circus horse Signor McCoy, detective pastiche
Chubblock Homes, and proto-superhero Dicky the Birdman, were once
very well-known, part of a boom in cheap and widely distributed
comics that Alfred Harmsworth and others published in London from
1890 onwards. The repositioning of Yeats in the context of the
comics, and the acknowledgement of the very substantial corpus of
graphic humour that he produced, has profound implications for our
understanding of his artistic career and of his significant
contribution to UK comics history. This book, which also contains
many examples of the work, should therefore be of value to those
interested in Comics Studies, Irish Studies, and Art History.
