SynopsisHere is Tom De Haven's acclaimed tribute to the comics and their creators now in a paperback edition. An energetic story of the adventures of a pulp fiction writer living and working amid the swank and seedy glory of 1930s New York. At once a rollicking and bittersweet novel about ambition, temptation, and jealousy and the redemptive power of love and the well-chosen wisecrack., A rollicking and bittersweet look at the cutthroat world of professional cartooning, Derby Dugan's Depression Funnies is also a tribute to the redemptive powers of love, imagination, and the well-chosen wisecrack.
