Krazy Kat

George Herriman's Krazy Kat is a landmark newspaper comic strip that ran for decades, but this 1977 Grosset and Dunlap collection presents a single, essential volume of Herriman's surreal, poetic, and visually inventive masterpiece. Set in the dreamlike landscape of Coconino County, the strip follows the eternal, unrequited love of Krazy Kat for the brick-throwing Ignatz Mouse, policed by the officious Officer Bull Pupp. Herriman's singular art—a fusion of cubist, expressionist, and cartooning styles—and his lyrical, slang-laced dialogue made Krazy Kat a critical darling and a profound influence on generations of artists and writers. This collection preserves a timeless work of American comic art, showcasing why it remains a cornerstone of the medium.
