Features: "World Comic Master's Masterpieces," a series that collects 9 classic comic works of 9 modern American and European comic masters, totaling 10 volumes. This book is one of them, an undeniable classic of American comic strips, ranking among "Top 10 Greatest American Comic Strips." DeBeck is indeed a master of comic strips, and his stories always leave readers wanting more. I believe you will feel the same way. His comic strip "Barney Gogol" is named after its main character, a little man with round, big eyes, a moustache, wearing gloves and a hat, a big nose, and a fondness for smoking cigars. After "Barney Gogol" began its serialization, its main readership—male readers—immediately recognized the special appeal of the work and became captivated. When this 29-year-old cartoonist demonstrated his wit, the enthusiasm for his work reached fever pitch. In the smoking carriage of a train, countless cigars glowed red, and almost everyone held a newspaper, which featured the cigar-smoking Barney Gogol.
