This book collects the complete, pulse-pounding illustrated adventures of midget-car racer Johnny Comet. Legendary Hall of Fame illustrator Frank Frazetta takes us through Comet's high-speed journeys, joined by writer Earl Baldwin and Indy 500 winner Peter DePaolo.

Though Frazetta is best known as an icon of fantastic art, celebrated for his powerful paintings of iconic heroes and heroines (Conan, Death Dealer, Tarzan), his diverse career also spanned movie posters, humor work, and album covers. In 1952, Frazetta received the dream opportunity to illustrate Johnny Comet's newspaper-strip adventures, marking a significant moment in the artist's burgeoning career.

This collection of Johnny Comet strips is a hallmark Frazetta was proud of throughout his legendary career. Vanguard's multi-volume collection presents the Complete Johnny Comet, reproduced directly from the artist's original proofs, along with meticulously restored full-color Sunday strips.

It has been 20 years since Johnny Comet was last collected, and with this new Vanguard Frazetta Classics edition, using state-of-the-art reproduction techniques, Frazetta’s Comet Classics are now beautifully available in print, as never before. The collection also includes an insightful essay by award-winning illustrator William Stout.
