Most Popular Books by George Herriman

Complete in one volume, "Peregrinating the Highway of Dreams" collects all seven years worth of public domain Sunday Krazy Kat strips, from 1916 to 1922.

Reprinted for the very first time, these century-old strips comprise a key early work from the creator of Krazy Kat, perhaps the most lauded cartoonist of all time. This book concludes a three-volume LOAC Essentials sub-series by presenting the final year of Baron Bean, one of Herriman's richest and funniest creations, second only to Krazy Kat, whose citizens would occasionally grace these panels. Herriman found few themes as fascinating as the power of titles and the ways in which worth in society is determined based on a hat, a name, or the color of one's skin. Each day he gives reason to question not only the superiority of would-be "Barons" over their vassals and retainers, but equally the superiority of so-called "humans" over the animals they call "pets."

Sinceramente, no hay una obra que necesite menos que la aúpen al pedestal de marfil de las "Bellas Artes" que Krazy Kat. Día tras día, en un medio diseñado para procurar una diversión sencilla, Herriman se dedicaba a su trabajo, sin pretensiones y aparentemente sin esfuerzo, dejando tras de sí una obra maestra americana. -San Francisco Chronicle-

Widely praised as the greatest comic strip of all time, the initial phase of George Herriman's KRAZY KAT as its own daily strip in newspapers has been all too often overlooked through the years.
