Berkley Breathed's Bloom County was one of the most popular and
critically acclaimed newspaper strips of all time. Bloom County ran from
December 8th, 1980 to August 6th, 1989 and was published in an astounding 1200
newspapers on a daily basis. The huge popularity of Bloom County spawned
a merchandizing bonanza, as well as two spin-off strips, Outland and
Opus.
The Bloom County Library Volume 1 highlights the first time the
entire run of the immensely popular Bloom County strip has been collected
in beautifully designed hard cover books with exceptional
reproduction.
-The Library of American
Comics is the world's #1 publisher of classic newspaper comic strips, with 14
Eisner Award nominations and three wins for best book. LOAC has become "the gold
standard for archival comic strip reprints...The research and articles provide
insight and context, and most importantly the glorious reproduction of the
material has preserved these strips for those who knew them and offers a new
