New York, NY: A Tor Book/Tom Doherty Assoc Llc, 1991. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Paperback/Cartoons. Good/None as Issued. George Gately(Author & Illustrator). Text/New w/margin discoloration. Unpaginated pages w/loss to half of one page followed by some 6 pgs w/creasings towards latter half of book (dropped & poorly retrieved? Now fortified w/archival tape) to "Heathcliff in Horse Feathers". Softcover/Good; intact, shelfworn w/edge wear & creasings to upper front corner. Anthology of 8 previously published Marvel Comics cartoon strips of Heathcliff --- the fat-cat-with-an-attitude created by George Gately Gallagher (1928 - 2001), who dropped his last name of Gallagher to avoid confusion with his successful brother John whom he followed into the cartoon business. Of scruffy pedigree, a penchant for trouble, & an irreverent attitude, Heathcliff was the rage of the mid-70s, featured in some 1,000 newspapers, so his, and that of his creator, became true-blue household names.
