Overview
Overview
In the introductory essay, editor Bill Blackbeard chronicles Krazy Kat's ascent from its earliest days as a tiny pendant for Herriman's earlier strips "The Dingbat Family" and "The Family upstairs" to its own full feature. A second major article in this volume is Bob Callahan's "Geo. Herriman's Los Angeles," a fascinating look at Herriman's pre-Krazy Kat days as a journalist/illustrator, covering such things as a Mexican bullfight (Herriman was appalled), the opening of a new "bums' jail" (Herriman's sympathies were clearly with the vagrants), and UFO sightings--all accompanied by Herriman's virtuoso cartoons, of course.
As usual, the cover is designed by Chris Ware, featuring a striking two-color look that will set this latest volume apart from the previous eleven.
