The Kat Who Walked In Beauty : The Panoramic Dailies Of 1920 Hardcover – August 28, 2007

This large format book provides Krazy Kat dailies in nearly newspaper size print. After buying the Fantagraphics sunday series that are available it is interesting to view and read these larger format cartoons. The larger size adds an additional "dimension" that you don't get from the smaller format books. The majority of the book is derived from the series published over 9 months in 1920 with smaller sections from very early days. This is a different Kat than the Krazy Kat of 1920 and later but it helps to show how the cartoon character evolved. Reading this makes me hope Fantagraphics continues to put out more.

A beautiful book with a pretty cover, colorful endpapers, and high quality printing throughout. I gave this to my boyfriend for his birthday and he parked himself in his favorite chair immediately to pour over it.

As far as I'm concerned, I just need to write one Krazy Kat review and it would serve for all Krazy Kat output. When it comes to comic strips (past and present) there's Krazy Kat and everybody else. If you want a thoughtful, balanced, unbiased review you've dialed a wrong number...

Fantastic book! Thank you! :-)

I love the art deco cover and binding! Beautiful book, with clear images. Lots of Krazy Kat collections have very small print and are hard to read. In this, the strips are clear.

Fast, hassle free purchase. Deserves 6 stars, at least. Classic comic strip reprints in a georgous book. Delightful. -Richard

This is a wonderfully designed news strip reprint book - hefty, formidable, aesthetically pleasing in every regard. I've been a Krazy Kat fan for many, many years, and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain)

This splendid, wide-format book displays krazy kat in all its glory. Krazy kat is such a great, classic comic, and it's wonderful to see it back in print. This book in particular highlights Herriman's gorgeous landscapes and quirky art. Even as a young person who never saw Krazy Kat in the daily papers, I love the comic for the art, the lovable characters, and even for its old-fashioned-ness. The strip never tried too hard for lame gags, and even if there wasn't much "action," in a modern sense, I still laugh at the antics of Krazy, Ignatz, and Offisa Pup. Herriman's lovely and masterful work merits rediscovery today, after so many decades- it is still a wonderful comic.

A beautiful edition, lovely to see the strips in their original format. sturdy binding, slick looking presentation...and as ever wonderful sketches and illustrations!

perfect edition

This book has been beautifully designed and produced. The strips it contains confirm that George Herriman was a comic genius.

The beautiful graphic design on the cover of this book, shows the love of the editors for their subject. Ans who would not agree with their love?
