IDW Publishing; $29.99

Here’s a roster of comic book talent you don’t typically see on one project: Walt Kelly, Alex Toth, Dan DeCarlo, MAD’s Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Davis, and Dave Berg, Yellow Kid and Buster Brown creator R. F. Outcault, Walt Disney Studios and more… All of them (and more) take the proverbial fall down the rabbit hole into the world of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.

The diverse takes on Alice and her world offered by these creators have been brought together by editor-designer Craig Yoe for this latest beautifully produced hardcover collection from his Yoe! Books imprint at IDW Publishing.

From the whimsical to the downright bizarre, the results show the ranges of the comic book medium over a protracted period. While some of the pieces are of interest only from a purely academic standpoint, many of them are highly inventive and very well done.

If this book even sounds vaguely like it would interest you, give it a read and let it captivate you. It will.
