As the dust from Comic Con settles, don't forget to place your
orders for The Bloom County Library,
coming in October. This five volume collection will feature
every daily and Sunday strip in chronological order, and is the
first time that many of these famous strips have been republished.
The books will be part of IDW's Library of American Comics imprint,
and designed by Eisner Award-winner Dean
Mullaney.
Berkeley Breathed's Bloom County is one
of the most popular and critically acclaimed newspaper strips of
modern times. Premiering on December 8th, 1980 - a month after the
election of Ronald Reagan as President - the strip brought to the
comics pages a unique amalgam of contemporary politics and fantasy,
all told with hilarious humor and wit.
In addition to the strips themselves, The Bloom County
Library will also contain a series of "Context Pages"
sprinkled throughout the volumes, providing perspective for the
reader and presenting a variety of real-life events and
personalities that were contemporary at the time of original
publication.
