This first volume of IDW's comprehensive library series collects the earliest years of Berkeley Breathed's Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper strip, from its 1980 debut through 1982. It includes the strip's initial run as The Academia Waltz before it evolved into the iconic Bloom County, featuring early appearances of beloved characters like Opus the penguin and Bill the Cat. Presented in full-color with archival material, this edition chronicles the strip's formative period as Breathed honed his satirical voice on politics, pop culture, and suburban life.
