GEORGE HERRIMAN LIBRARY HC (2025)

"This new collection of George Herriman's masterpiece Krazy Kat brings back into print the inventive language, haunting vistas, and brick throwing that makes this strip so special. Perfect for Krazy Kat veterans or brand-new readers, this collection provides you with the joy of joining the inhabitants of surreal Coconino County in the strip that originally elevated the comics medium into a celebrated art form."

"George Herriman's Krazy Kat detailed the comings and goings of a lovestruck vagabond 'Kat,' a malicious mouse, and a diligent dog trying to keep order. This new deluxe hardcover collects the full-sized Sunday pages from 1919 through 1921 including photographs, artwork, and introductory text by comic historians Bill Blackbeard and Michael Tisserand."

In this volume: What insights can Krazy glean from an art exhibit of the old masters? What happens when Krazy applies for a job as a debt collector? What's with all the balloons? And volcanos? Why is a giraffe wandering lost in the desert? These are just some of the questions in this collection of the surreal adventures of Krazy Kat, Ignatz, and Offisa Pup. With incisive essays by Herriman scholars, and reproductions of rare Herriman ephemera, this entry in our ongoing series makes it plain why this is considered this to be "the greatest comic strip of the 20th Century."
