Publisher's Synopsis

Nancy Likes Christmas brings readers another three years of Ernie Bushmiller's beloved comic strip, featuring over 1000 meticulously restored daily strips from its post-WW2 graphic high point - superbly crafted but not yet quite stylised into the almost machine-like sleekness of later decades. And, while the jokes in Nancy have long been reputed to have a zen-like, square oddness to them, many are just extremely funny!

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.
