Krazy Kat #4

George Herriman's beloved desert comic strip gets a handsome French hardcover treatment in this 2015 collection from Les Rêveurs, gathering strips from 1940 to 1944. The cover sets the scene perfectly — Krazy Kat hangs upside-down from a slender pole in a spare, ochre desert landscape while Ignatz Mouse and Officer Pupp look on amid the iconic mesas of Coconino County. It's a beautifully designed volume that does full justice to one of cartooning's most enduring and poetic creations.
