This profusely illustrated book contains over one hundred fifty of
Herriman's comic strips including forty-eight of the Krazy Kat Sunday
color cartoons as well as never-before-published drawings, archival
photographs, and personal letters.- Since the book's first printing
in 1986, it has sold more than 40,000 copies as an Abradale and in the
original hardcover and paperback editions. The paperback, its most
successful format, sold more than 30,000 copies.- The text is
co-written by Patrick McDonnell, the creator of Mutts. Abrams recently
published a book on McDonnell and his wildly popular and award-winning
comic strip series.This 1986 volume collects a large portion of Herriman's Krazy Kat comic
strips, which appeared in newspapers nationwide for 31 years (until he
died) as well as a smattering of his other artwork (158 illustrations,
48 in color). Though the strips were initially created for humor,
critics now see a heavier surrealistic quality to Herriman's style. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
