Taking the cartoonist from behind the drawing table and dropping them in the middle of their own comic strip is exactly what Eisner-winning editor and designer Craig Yoe has done for IDW Publishing. Serving as the story protagonists in the autobiographical and fictional comics are industry legends Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Wally Wood, Frank Frazetta, Charles Schulz, Jack Cole, Dick Briefer, Winsor McCay, Chester Gould, Sheldon Mayer, Milton Caniff, Ernie Bushmiller, Basil Wolverton, B. Kliban, Rube Goldberg, Jack Chick, Milt Gross, Siegel and Shuster, Will Eisner, Elzie Segar, and Harvey Kurtzman."Cartoonists are my heroes," declared Craig Yoe when discussing the creative inspiration for Comics About Cartoonists: The World’s Oddest Profession. "That makes this book featuring comics about the ink-slingers themselves drawn by the cartoonists themselves my very favorite book I've done. Cartoonists and the people that love them are going to go ape-poop over this one!" Every genre is represented in the full-colour, hardcover collection from superheroes, science fiction, crime, funny animals, romance, war comics, teen-age humor and lots of horror.
