About the series
V. T. Hamlin’s prehistoric caveman hero, Alley Oop, made a brief but memorable leap from newspaper comic strips to a two-issue comic book series from Dell in 1962–1963. Hamlin handled the writing and some of the art, with Matt Fox contributing additional illustrations to bring the stone-age adventures to life. This series offers a compact, period-specific glimpse into the enduring appeal of one of comics’ earliest and most beloved cavemen.
