Bloom County burst onto the American comic scene in December of 1980
and it soon became one of the most popular comic strips of all time. The quirky
denizens of the strip included Milo Bloom, Steve Dallas, Michael Binkley, Cutter
John, Bill the Cat, and Opus the penguin, along with so many others.
Volume Two of the Bloom County Library continues right where volume
one left off, with Berkeley Breathed's endearing, enchanting, and occasionally
infuriating inhabitants of Bloom County treating us to their madcap adventures,
cynical observations, and optimistic innocence - sometimes all at
once!
-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
gateway to adventure for those discovering them for the first time." -
