25 Years with Blondie

Blondie’s daily newspaper strip, the long-running chronicle of the Bumstead family’s suburban adventures, was collected into a single, oversized hardcover volume by Simon and Schuster in 1958. This volume, 25 Years with Blondie, celebrated a quarter-century of Chic Young’s beloved characters, from Dagwood’s towering sandwiches to Blondie’s gentle exasperation. As a landmark compilation, it preserved the strip’s early, formative years for a new generation of readers.
