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.
