Publisher's Synopsis

Covers the last two years of Herriman's masterpiece. Aside from collecting the last masterful year and a half of Krazy Kat, this new volume offers a retrospective look at Herriman's life at the drawing table, offering many samples of his original art. Gathered from many scattered collections, these pages testify to Herriman's inveterate passion for drawing. Series editor and veteran comics historian Bill Blackbeard also provides a concluding, wide-ranging essay on the life and art of Herriman.

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.
