New "Krazy & Ignatz" volume from Fantagraphics

Fantagraphics — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 18:40:42 GMT

Now Available: Krazy & Ignatz 1939-1940: "A Brick Stuffed with Moom-bims" by George Herriman

George Herriman integrated full, spectacular color into Krazy Kat in June, 1935. The gorgeous evolution continues in our third color volume, which includes the Sunday strips from all of 1939 and 1940. The color format opens the floodgates for a massive amount of spectacular, rare color art from series editor Bill Blackbeard and designer Chris Ware's files. Included are an unpublished Herriman painting from the 1920s and other surprises. Most of these strips in this volume have not seen print since originally running in Hearst newspapers over 70 years ago.

120-page full-color 9” x 12” paperback $19.95

DIALOGUE, DIALECT

Holden S. — Thu, 18 Mar 2004 00:27:43 GMT

1 of the things i enjoy about our man Herriman & his creation is that he had a finely tuned ear for dialogue & dialect...for instance, if you pay close attention to Krazy Kat's speech patterns it becomes readily apparent that the cat talks with a New York Yiddish/English accent. can anyone else identify other speech regionalisms & accents in the cartoon?

Fantagraphics Anthology?

Mojave66 — Sat, 24 Jan 2004 00:13:37 GMT

Anyone have the Fantagraphics Anthology? Any thoughts on it? It's probably going to be my next book purchase, and I'd love to get some reviews from Kat fans first.
