Publisher's Synopsis

The third volume in a set that will reprint Herriman's acclaimed, revolutionary 28-year run of Krazy Kat, this book features 104 full-page b/w Sunday strips plus an introduction by Bill Blackbeard and reproductions of rare Herriman ephemera from legendary cartoonist Chris Ware's own extensive collection. A love triangle between three characters, Krazy Kat, Ignatz Mouse and Offisa Pup, with each ignorant of the other's true motivations, Krazy Kat offers worlds of meaning and thematic depth to readers across genre boundaries.

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.
