Publisher Marketing: "This Eisner Award-nominated series showcases one of the most renowned and celebrated comic strips in the art form's history as it strides boldly through the mid-1920s, its quirky characters in full flower in this ... archival hardcover collection. In this volume, Ignatz repeatedly sets elaborate traps for Krazy (long before the Road Runner) [and experiences] adventures on the 'enchanted mesa,' wacky weather, literal cliffhangers--and what happens when Santa and the stork arrive at the same chimney at the same moment?" Review Quotes : At this point, no one should need any convincing that Krazy Kat is one of the greatest works of comic art ever created, and that it should form the foundation of any good collection.-- "The A.V. Club" Review Quotes : For nearly 30 years, George Herriman's hilarious, poetic masterpiece Krazy Kat graced the Sunday pages of America's newspapers. This new hardcover collection brings back into print the inventive language, haunting vistas, and beguiling brick throwing that makes this strip so special. Perfect for Herriman connoisseurs and brand-new readers.-- "San Francisco Review of Books" Review Quotes : One could argue the claim -- confidently, persuasively, and with an all-but-inexhaustible store of ever-fresh evidence -- that George Herriman was one of the very great artists, in any medium, of the 20th century.--Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize-winning author (The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay) Publisher Marketing :
