Bloom County: Real, Classy, & Compleat

A compact, welcome return to the Pulitzer Prize-winning comic strip's world, this IDW series from 2017 collects the very first Bloom County strips in a new, archival format. Spanning just two issues, it offers a focused, high-quality reprint of the strip's earliest days, presenting the debut of Opus, Bill the Cat, and the rest of the Meadowbrook gang in their original, uncolored glory. For longtime fans and new readers alike, it's an essential, beautifully produced look at the foundations of one of the most beloved and influential comic strips of the 1980s.
