Chuck Jones The Dream That Never Was

Chuck Jones is best known as the Academy Award-winning director of Duck Amuck, Rabbit of Seville, Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas and other timeless classics. He created dozens of cartoon characters throughout his decades-long career. Pepé Le Pew, Marvin the Martian, Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote, and the star-crossed Crawford, an accident-prone nine-year-old boy who starred in his very own comic strip. This book follows Chuck Jones's twenty-seven-year journey to bring Crawford to the public, from conception to storyboard to newspaper strip. This incredible volume is replete with never-before-seen sketches, drawings, storyboards, and production notes, and the six-month run of the 1978 Crawford comic strip.
