From the publisher's listing...
"Bud Abbott & Lou Costello were the comedy team that defined the war-torn 1940s in a series of hit movies, two radio programs and two television series that continued to convulse audiences well into the 1950s. Advertising Anarchy explores the many ways in which the duo was sold to those audiences in newspaper advertising, film posters, lobby cards, publicity stills, magazines & comic books, promotional merchandise and retail products. This book takes a visual journey through thos different advertising mediums in more than 1000 rare and compelling images, many in full color, most in print for the first time in seventy years.
Join author and collector Rick Greene as he presents marketing materials from Universal, MGM, United Artists, NBC and other agencies who tickled funny bones across the country, presenting the latest product from Bud & Lou. The team of Abbott & Costello were SO much more than "Who's on First" as Advertising Anarchy so richly depicts!"
