This book reprints four classic stories that are
emblematic of what made the strip great. Barney and his horse Spark Plug get
involved in all sorts of hijinks and schemes when they enter the MillionDollar
CrossCountry Marathon, decide to swim the English Channel, and when Barney joins
the Secret and Mysterious Order of the Brotherhood of Billy Goats (in DeBeck's
sendup of secret societies and fraternal lodges), culminating in Barney Google's
historic run for President of the United States in 1928!
LOAC Essentials reprints, in yearly volumes,
the daily newspaper strips that are essential to comics history, strips that are
unique creations in their right, while also contributing to the advancement of
the medium.
