This is the ultimate collection of Spy Vs. Spy.
What started as a project to print every single Spy Vs. Spy strip Prohias did (plus some that were done by his successors) evolved into a tribute to their creator.
The strips are all here, but there are also a couple of nice essays and remembrances detailing Prohias flight from Castro's Cuba and life in America. Plus they printed some of his pre-Spy Vs. Spy strips.
These strips were meant to be read once a month or so. I've noticed if you read too many in a row, they lose their edge. Still, that's no knock on the work.
If you remember these strips from childhood or liked the animated Mad TV segments (or the Mountain Dew commercials), this book is well worth a look.

I used to own this book. I miss it.
