1st printing. By Ann Marie Fleming. Who was Long Tack Sam? He was born in 1885. He ran away from Shangdung Province to join the circus. He was an acrobat. A magician. A comic. An impresario. A theater owner. A mentor to Orson Welles. He was considered the greatest act in the history of vaudeville. In this gorgeous graphic memoir, his great-granddaughter, the artist and filmmaker Ann Marie Fleming, resurrects his fascinating life for the rest of the world. It's an exhilarating testament to a forgotten man, China's greatest magician. And every picture is true. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 170 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $14.00.
