I don’t think this work has ever before been collected. These V.T. Hamlin collections in particular have sold very, very well for us. Some have gone out of print. There’s a very solid fan base out there for Alley’s adventures, of which I am one. One of the first pieces of original art I ever bought, way back at a NY Convention in 1970 or 1971, was a daily strip with Alley Oop in a Roman helmet, meeting a mermaid in the middle of the ocean. It’s just wonderful storytelling! – Bud
