Walt & Skeezix 2 reviewed in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Walt and Skeezix, 1923 & 1924. By Frank O. King. Drawn & Quarterly Books,
$29.95. All ages.

Last year we praised the initial book in this series, the first collection of early "Gasoline Alley" comics strips. This second volume is equally excellent. Two sequences stand out: a 1923 cross-country car race between Walt and Avery, and the 1934 kidnaping of Skeezix by the mysterious Mrs. Octave and Walt's efforts to find the boy.
