Rip Kirby Volume 5 Book

The fifth volume of the Harvey Award-nominated "Rip Kirby" features the incredible art of John Prentice who picked up the pen and ink duties after Alex Raymond's death and continued drawing the strip for decades. Prentice received three Reuben Awards for the series in 1966 1967 and 1986. Fred Dickenson who had been writing the strip with Raymond keeps the continuity going for Prentice's exquisite art.
