Shazam made his debut in Whiz Comics in 1940, and outsold his
biggest competitor, Superman, by 14 million copies a month. It
wasn't long before a variety of merchandise was licensed-secret
decoders, figurines, buttons, paper rockets, tin toys, puzzles,
costumes-and a fan club was created to keep up with the demand.
These collectibles now sell for outrageous prices on eBay and in
comic book stores and conventions. Seventy years later, an
unprecedented assortment of these artifacts are gathered together
by award-winning writer/designer Chip Kidd and photographer Geo
Spear. Join Kidd, Spear, and the World's Mightiest Mortal in this
first, fully authorized celebration of ephemera, artwork, and rare,
one-of-a-kind toys, and recapture the magic that was Shazam!
The Eisner Award-nominated tribute to Charles M. Schulz-newly
repackaged for the 70th anniversary of Peanuts Charles M. Schulz
believed that the key to cartooning was to take out the extraneous
details and leave in only what's necessary. For 50 years, he wrote
and illustrated Peanuts, the single most popular and influential
comic strip in the world. Renowned designer Chip Kidd was granted
unprecedented access to the extraordinary archives of the Charles
M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California.
Only What's Necessary reproduces the best of the Peanuts newspaper
strip, all shot from the original art by award-winning photographer
Geoff Spear, and features exclusive, rare, and unpublished original
art and developmental work-much of which has never been seen
before.
