Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. HERE IS A MAN WHO WOULD NOT TAKE IT. We have forgotten about Everett True, a man who attended with prejudice to those most deserving-the daily pests. Sure, superheroes may have stopped crimes and Popeye may have known his share of dust-ups. But what about the million annoying twerps who don't break the law, but instead stomp on the social contract? When do they get theirs? Everett had no superpowers nor can of spinach, just a keen sense of human nature and the will to reward it but good. Everett True wished to live a simple life. He wished to go about his day without being unnecessarily bothered. His success then was not far from your own today. From loud-mouths in the theater to the overly pushy salesman, from the incessantly bothersome co-worker to the sidewalk hoggers, there's always some do-gooder who needs done in. You and I might take it on the chin, but Everett gives it on the noggin with interest. Outbursts of Everett True rarely strays from a natural formula: the pest impinges on Everett, Everett clobbers the pest. Far from repetitive, the rhythm reveals the timeless truth that the line between justice and revenge is a phantom's dream. Away with pity for the braggart, the inconsiderate, the assuming, the imposing, the blowhards, those cruel to animals and all the other pushy clods who would turn a perfectly pleasant day into a trial. Here are the best and brassiest Outbursts of Everett True. Many are reprinted for the first time since they were created by A. D. Condo and J. W. Raper, beginning in 1905. Outbursts of Everett True also packs the one-two punch of rare bibliographical information about the creators. Let Trevor Blake reintroduce our hero to a world ever more crowded with louts. Here is a man who stood up. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. narrow octavo, 9 "x 4 ½", (23 x 11 cm), 94 pp. The cover has a dent to the upper corner near the spine. The front cover has a slightly bent corner at the bottom right-hand corner. There is very slight wear to the cover other than those flaws. A great copy for collectors of antique comics from the Platinum Age of comics. Original owner. This is a facsimile of a 1907 newspaper comic strip collection. The Outbursts of Everett True ran from 1907 to 1927 and had an overweight curmudgeon main character who took offense at the slightest annoyance. The editor collected only the most timeless of the strips to give readers a feel for what it was like living in early 20th century America. Many of the situations are still valid today. Everett True was an authentic anti-superhero for his time. This book is from a very small publisher located in Vestal NY founded by Harvey Roehl (1924 - 2000). Vestal Press was best known for books on servicing pianos, player pianos and mechanical instruments. This was a one-off book for them and likely published in a very limited edition. According to an article published on-line before he passed away, Roehl wrote that the company "reprinted just about anything that we thought would sell at least 100 copies." This means there were at least 100 copies printed but not many more since the publisher relied mostly on mail-order sales through their catalog.
