From the Publisher
The years 1930-1970 were the Golden Age of both American sports and American comic strips, and we turn your attention to a neglected part of the art formae"sports cartooningae"and to its greatest practitioner, Willard Mullin.Willard Mullinae(tm)s Golden Age of Baseball: Drawings 1934-1972 collects for the first time Mullinae(tm)s best drawings devoted to baseball. Mullin was to baseball players what Bill Mauldin was to soldiers: advocate and critic, investing them with personality, humanity, dignity, and poignancy; Mauldin had Willie & Joe and Mullin had the Brooklyn Bum, his affectionate 1939 character representing the bedraggled figure of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
