DRAWING A CROWD: Bill Gallo's Greatest Sports Moments
The award-winning cartoonist gathers favorite drawings of over 40 years with New York's Daily News. After a brief personal profile, Gallo pays graphic tribute to achievements and the achievers in sports and society during his long career (with even a sidebar thrown in about World War II). With help from Basement Bertha the young Yuchie, General Von Steingrabber, and the other cartoon regulars, he salutes Ali, DiMaggio, Stengal, Jordan, Jim Brown, and many more. With principal appeal to libraries around New York, this engaging opus will also go well in larger collections. The book's foreword is by former Daily News editor Pete Hamill.-Morey Berger, St. Joseph's Hosp. Lib., Tucson, AZCopyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
