Nancy: Volume One by John Stanley is a compendium of the old school Nancy comics of the 1950s (though very new to some!). Nancy of the Brillo hair and her pal Sluggo have little kid adventures than involve ice-cream sodas, corner stores and loose teeth. There is a full colour feel of the past to this volume, designed by Seth, meant to evoke the funnies of old.
