Kate Carew TPB Americas First Great Woman Cartoonist (Mature)

Kate Carew TPB Americas First Great Woman Cartoonist (Mature)

Kate Carew was America's first great woman cartoonist, drawing for newspapers in the first two decades of the 20th century. She drew Sunday color comics alongside George Herriman, but it was in the idiom of freestanding caricature that she made her mark. She interviewed and sketched many of the famous celebrities of her time including the Wright brothers, who built and flew the world's first successful airplane; Marconi, who invented wireless radio; Picasso, the most famous painter of the 20th century; the world champion African American heavyweight boxer Jack Johnson; and the leading figures of the suffragette movement in the years before women won the right to vote in the UK (1918) and the US (1920). Her most endearing achievement was her cartoon alter ego "Aunt Kate," whom she sketched into the proceedings, turning graphic reportage into her personal adventure from San Francisco and New York to London and Paris.

How We Ship

How We Ship

Unless otherwise noted, all comics sold on the website come with a bag and board.

All books are shipped in thick cardboard mailers or flats to reduce the risk of damage while shipping. We will NEVER send your book in a floppy shipping envelope that doesn't have protective qualities. 

Orders are shipped 1-2 days after your order is placed.

Shipping rates are calculated by the weight of the items and will calculate in your cart at checkout with several options to choose from for shipping.

Conditions of These Items

We cannot guarantee your new comic book or collectible will not have some slight imperfections.

Minor damages, like light corner dings or light spine dings may be present.  

We do strive to try and spot all seriously damaged items before they are made available to you for purchase online, but we are human and we do deal with 100s of books everyday, so we have the potential to miss some things on our inspection.

If you feel like we missed a glaringly bad damage in your order, or your entire order was damaged by the mail, please contact us and we'll take it on a case-by-case basis to resolve you issue. 

Can I Pickup in Store?

We do offer a Free Local Pickup option for those that live near our stores.

Our online inventory is located in Nashville, but all of our website inventory is separate from what's in store and kept off-site from the actual store. 

You will receive a 'Ready For Pickup' notification, either by email or text (depending on your contact settings) when your item is on site and ready to pick up.

Items are typically ready for pickup next day for Nashville.

Currently this option is only available for Nashville. Clarksville will be coming soon!
