Vince's Vintage Valentines

Art Spiegelman & Francoise Mouly



In the 1940’s and 50’s while Superman and Wonder Woman reigned supreme, they still had to share space with dozens of characters, Little Lulu, Dennis the Menace, Scrooge McDuck and many more. Recently, Art Spiegelman and Francoice Mouly published “The Toon Treasury of Classic Children’s Comics,” a collection of some of these best loved titles. SundayArts spoke to them in their Soho studio.
