The peaceable little kingdom of Myopia rocks with laughter in the second IDW/TheLibrary of American Comics collection of Jack Kent's King Aroo . Colorful visitors come and go while Professor Yorgle pontificates, faithful Yupyop frets, and Mr. Elephant forgets everything but his own name! Kindly King Aroo presides over all the outlandish slapstick and witty wordplay in over seven-hundred daily and Sunday comic strips from 1953-1954, edited and designed by Eisner Award-winner Dean Mullaney. Plus, Bruce Canwell continues his groundbreaking biography of Jack Kent, featuring rare photos and never-before-seen artwork. -The Library of American Comics is the world's #1 publisher of classic newspaper comic strips, with 14 Eisner Award nominations and three wins for best book. LOAC has become "the gold standard for archival comic strip reprints...The research and articles provide insight and context, and most importantly the glorious reproduction of the material has preserved these strips for those who knew them and offers a new gateway to adventure for those discovering them for the first time.” - Scoop Jack Kent (1920-1985) was born in Burlington, Iowa, but spent most of his life in San Antonio, Texas. His first cartoons appeared in San Antonio newspapers, and he briefly apprenticed with Elmer Woggon on  Big Chief Wahoo before launching  King Aroo  in 1950. When the King abdicated in 1965, Jack Kent went on to become one of America's most beloved children's book illustrators. He wrote and illustrated over forty children's books and illustrated nearly twenty by other authors.
