Description

Odditoriums are among the most popular attractions worldwide, yet mostpeople don't know that it all started with a daily cartoon drawn by one man- Robert Ripley. Originally a sports cartoonist, Ripley developedBelieve It or Not! in the 1920s. By the end of the decade, the series hadbecome a phenomenal hit.

In an era when few people traveled outside their ownhome town, let alone out of the country, Ripley became a globetrotter, seekingstories of bizarre and unusual proportion to put in his internationally-knownfeature.

The cartoons were adapted into radio and television programs, andhelped make Ripley the highest paid cartoonist in the world.

This series begins a chronological reprinting of Ripley's famous dailycartoons in hardcover collections, reminding us that first and foremost RobertRipley - explorer, radio, movie, and television personality, entrepreneurand museum impresario - was an astounding artist-cartoonist. The first volume reprises cartoons from 1929 and 1930, when Ripley'sfame raised him from relative obscurity to international celebrity, and includesbonus and background material from Ripley's impressive archives.
