All the humor, all the characters, all in one series of books! Whether
you're new to the series or an old fan, this is the perfect opportunity
to collect one of the most popular and critically acclaimed newspaper
strips of all time!
Running from December 8th, 1980, to August 6th, 1989, Bloom County was
published in an astounding 1,200 newspapers on a daily basis. The huge
popularity of Bloom County spawned a merchandising bonanza, as well as
two spin-off strips, Outland and Opus. The first Bloom County
paperback collection, Loose Tails, sold over one million copies.
Bloom County Library Book One is the first of five editions
collecting the Pulitzer Prize- and Eisner Award-winning comic strip in
its entirety. The first book introduces the beloved Opus the Penguin, as
well as Bill the Cat, Cutter John, Michael Binkley, Milo Bloom, Steve
Dallas, and others.
This volume also contains insightful commentary by Berkeley Breathed on
his quirky creations. Every strip, from the very first until the last,
are presented here in chronologically--you'll never have a better chance
to revisit these old friends--or to discover them for the first time.
