The Bloom County Library #5

This fifth volume of IDW's comprehensive Bloom County library collects the newspaper strip's run from 1987 through 1989, a period that saw the comic at the height of its cultural influence. It includes the complete storylines featuring Opus's presidential campaign, the return of Bill the Cat as a televangelist, and the strip's transition into the Sunday-only format that would eventually lead to its original conclusion. The book also presents the full-color Sunday strips and extensive annotations by Berkeley Breathed, providing context for the era's political and pop culture references.
