Skippy debuted as a daily newspaper strip in 1925, and as a Sunday the following year, soon becoming a sensation, published in 28 countries and 14 languages. Crosby continued writing and drawing the feature until 1945. "Percy Crosby caught lightning in a bottle and learned how to draw with it," wrote Jules Feiffer in a 1978 appreciation. Milton Caniff marveled, "Boy, there's nothing faster than watching Skippy run the way Crosby drew him." Crosby was heralded as "the greatest apostle of motion in the field of art" by Edward Alden Jewell, art critic of the New York Times. His artwork has hung in the Louvre in Paris, the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, and the Tate Gallery in London, among other venues, but it's his work as a cartoonist, as the creator of Skippy--the philosopher man-child--for which he's best known. Volume 1 includes every Skippy daily strip from the beginning--June 22, 1925 through the end of 1927--as well as the start of an extensive, ongoing biography of Percy Crosby by Jared Gardner, complemented by many photographs and rare artwork from the collection of the cartoonist's daughter, Joan Crosby Tibbetts.
