Publisher's Synopsis

Upon the release of the first volume of the much-anticipated reprinting of the classic Pogo newspaper strips in late 2011, the title became one of Fantagraphics' bestselling books in recent years. In November Pogo Vol 2. will be released, featuring all the strips from 1951 and 1952. Within is page after page of hilarious dramatic dialogue and action among the swamp denizens, as well as Kelly's increasingly sharp tongued political satire - particularly prominent during the 1952 election season. This volume also reprints all the Sunday pages in full colour.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
