Nancy Likes Christmas: Complete Dailies 1946-1948 (Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy) Paperback – December 18, 2012

This used copy was a great bargain in good condition. I wish they would re-issue these books. It’s amazing how well they have aged, compared to other daily strips. My eight-year-old reads them over and over.

Life got you down? Then I prescribe reading Ernie Bushmiller's NANCY ... it will make you happy, and with no bad side effects! Do what I do, keep one copy next to your computer so that when your computer takes its time doing something, pick up the book and proceed directly into NANCY nirvana! And keep one in your car too for when you get stuck in traffic ... read it and your troubles melt like lemon drops away upon the chimney tops ... that's where you'll find me!Make sure you get only genuine ERNIE BUSHMILLER collections of NANCY ... accept no substitute authors!!! Only ERNIE BUSHMILLER'S NANCY has the true NANCY magic!!!And if you don't believe me, ask ZIPPY THE PINHEAD'S Bill Griffith and THE FAR SIDE'S Gary Larson!

I never really read Nancy growing up in the 1960s and '70s; i came to this through recommendations from Bill Griffith of Zippy the Pinhead fame (he also wrote the foreword) and Peteykins of Princess Sparkle Pony (google it; it's a must-read blog).Ernie Bushmiller's illustration techniques are absolutely fantastic - his use of light / dark, line thickness, perspective, and of course the gag setups are absolutely astonishing at times. Sure, it seems a bit anachronistic, but if you're interested in commercial illustration - which I am, more than "comic" art (I'm not a comic book reader); you'll find this volume extremely interesting and a great addition to your collection.Fantagraphics printed the book on nice paper with good quality; it oddly features no front material, other than the foreword - and only a small afterword at the back. Weird, but cool.

the best.... ultimately genre busting childhood DADA.

From a quality standpoint, these volumes of Nancy comics by fantagraphics get full marks. Physically the books have nice covers with a good feel, the pages are of high quality, and the each comic is a great scan.The amount of laughter this book will bring you if you buy it is worth any price.

I can't add anything really to what I said about Nacy is Happy, other than this too is a Zen delight. you get lost in the world Bushmiller created. Sluggo and the gang, no frills simple enjoyment. I can't remember who referred to the Nancy strips as ZEN, but they have my vote.

This book is great, the layout is similar to volume one, which is excellent. The comic strips are in black and white. Here's hoping they continue to release new volumes in the future, maybe in color, that would be sweet. Thank you FANTAGRAPHICS!

primo!

Frickin' Awesomely Great and amazingly amazing and totally cool and fantastic. Best book ever.Probably. Nah.. most definately.SUPER COOL!

Davvero ben realizzato e imperdibile per gli appassionati. Peccato solo che gli altri due volumi della serie non siano reperibili su Amazon.

Gran recopilatorio. Si tiene algún defecto sería el de no haberle puesto tapas duras. Las tapas son blandas y se quedan algo enclenques para el volumen del libro.

Qui n'aime pas se retrouver un instant dans la chaude ambiance de son enfance. Cet ouvrage m'a remis aux côtés de mon grand père lisant les "bandes dessinées" dans son quotidien et me les commentant. A cette époque, NANCY s'appelait ZOE et SLUGGO : ARTHUR dans la version française de ces aventures. Tout le parfum de ces années enfuies. On peut, aujourd'hui encore, suivre (en Anglais) les tribulations de ces deux petits grace au talent de Guy GILCHRIST. Le ton est plus actuel, le charme intact!

Una obra realmente divertida. Un tira clásica clave para entender otras posteriores.La edición impecable ayuda a disfrutar aún más de la creación de Bushmiller.
