The Topps Company

Excellent book about everyone's favorite bubblegum mascot, Bazooka Joe. Each chapter focusing on a different aspect/Joe connection is very readable and leaves you wanting more. The profuse amount of photographs are fun to browse through and cover area's other than just the comic panels. The photos of the prizes that you could have obtained by way of the bubblegum are a real treasure. Learn about the original artist and his other works, find out the baseball connection, see the unfinished Bazooka Joe comic and then the finished version. See comics that didn't make it or were withdrawn. 95% of everything having to do with Bazooka Joe and his friends are in this book. The other 5% could be the start of the 70th(+) anniversary book. There are more BJ cards to talk about, the BJ Classic Bubble Toons DVD's(in 2005), and BJ's family. A few years after the book came out, the English language comics returned in the Bazooka Throwback Bubble Gum.… (altro)
