From the back cover...
"They made you laugh! You made them immortal... Laurel & Hardy, Wheeler & Woolsey, The Ritz Brothers, Abbott & Costello, The Marx Brothers, Martin & Lewis, The Three Stooges, and many, many more...
Their names evoke a Golden Age of movie comedy, an age of slapstick and vaudeville, pratfalls and puns. In the first complete book on these famous comic teams, critic-historian Leonard Maltin tells how they got together and why they broke up, reveals their private sorrows and public triumphs, and lovingly analyzes the high (and low) points of their film careers. With a very personal introduction by veteran film comic Billy Gilbert."
- The 1970 edition's cover photo collage features Moe, Larry and Joe Besser.
- Reprinted by Signet in 1974, with a more colorful cover design.
