DARK HORSE COLLECTS BAGGE’S “FOUNDING FATHERS FUNNIES”

MILWAUKIE, OR, August 21, 2015—America’s Founding Fathers were brilliant, brave, forward thinking . . . and ridiculous, at least in the eyes of cartoonist and history buff Peter Bagge! “I find myself laughing out loud whenever I read of their foibles, especially when their oversized egos clashed,” says Bagge, a multiple Harvey Award winner and Inkpot Award recipient. This collection of short vignettes features some of our country’s best-known historical figures (along with several lesser-known players) and includes all Founding Fathers Funnies cartoons from Apocalypse Nerd and Dark Horse Presents. This Dark Horse Books hardcover also features several brand-new stories and additional biographical information. Founding Fathers Funnies is in stores February 24, 2016.
