Krazy & Ignatz
Fantagraphics has come to the end of its epic collection of Krazy & Ignatz books, which collect together all of George Herriman’s newspaper strips from 1925 to 1944. Collected in 10 paperbacks (and a limited edition hardback or two), this is an extraordinary archive of extraordinary work.
What initially seems like an unrequited love triangle – between a cat, a mouse and an officer of the law – proved to be a blank canvass for George Herriman to craft what some claim to be comics’ finest hour. If you’re serious about your comics history, you probably can’t afford to miss this amazing collection, spanning 20 years of newspaper strips.
