Canwell, and Brian Walker, with contributions by Brendan Burford, Lucy
Shelton Caswell, Jared Gardner, Ron Goulart, Jeffrey Lindenblatt, Carl

a celebration of the profound impact that King Features has had on
popular culture!
From the earliest days when William Randolph Hearst first added cartoons
to his newspapers, comic strips have had a profound impact on popular
culture. With the consolidation of Hearst's various distribution
channels in November 1915, King Features was born. A century later the
world's largest syndicate leads the way in the 21st Century and beyond.
