Produktbeschreibung

"Mike Smith has a deft touch, which is to say that he pokes good-natured fun at NASCAR, while at the same time . . . loving the sport he lampoons." --Monte Dutton, NASCAR sportswriter America's fastest-growing spectator sport departs from the asphalt and heads to the funny pages with Mike Smith's comic creation StockcarToons. Boasting a fan base as diverse as Bill Clinton and the Vatican-who have each asked for originals of his work-Smith tackles NASCAR governance issues, race-car rivalries, corporate sponsorships, and other essential particulars on the minds of NASCAR fans with the keen eye of a well-seasoned editorial cartoonist. Equally adept at addressing the mechanics of the sport as he is addressing those under the hood, Smith has proven himself not only to NASCAR fans, but to a host of professional drivers, pit crew members, and sportscasters who laud his work. This StockcarToons gift collection features color in addition to Smith's standard black-and-white published panels.
