Here's the first in the new, ongoing, giant-size – 11 1/2" x 14" – hardcover volumes collecting the work of one of the – if not the – greatest geniuses in the history of comics, George Herriman.  Here in this volume's 176 pages are collected the first three years of Krazy Kat Sunday pages in the original black & white along with an illustrated forward by the man who made this and so many other collections of classic comic strips possible, Bill Blackbeard.  Reproduced from the best available sources, these strips revealed for once and to all the enormous creative capacity of the comics medium, leaving an inexhaustible legacy that renews itself with each new generation of cartoonists and comics makers.
