NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Herriman's color work was indeed wonderful, but as the previous correspondent notes, for two thirds of its run the Sunday KRAZY KAT was in fact black and white, so we've been publishing it in that format.

Beginning in mid-2005, after having wrapped up the black and white period with KRAZY + IGNATZ 1933-1934 (which will contain some of the most difficult-to-find and almost-never-reprinted years) we will be releasing the five volumes containing Herriman's color years, starting with KRAZY + IGNATZ 1935-1936... more info

Pedro Medas got it wrong:

Regarding the review below: Sunday Krazy Kat strips were not printed in color until 1934, so the strips in this volume (which covers the period from 1927 to 1928) are presented as they were originally published. While there are many pre-1934 strips that were hand-colored by Herriman, they were intended to be personal gifts to fellow cartoonists and not for publication.

Please don't buy it! I bought and I had a great disappoint.:

I'm a long time fan to Herriman work. When I find a new book with his drawings I go get it that instant. I got this and had a great shock!!! This is a b/w book that does not show all the greatness of Herriman art. Herriman used colors, shapes and shades at such a great level that you should try to find a book that will do him justice.
