description: When Fantagraphics launched its collection of Krazy Kat Sunday strips back in 2002 we picked up with the 10th and 11th years of the legendary strip (1925-1926) because another publisher had already collected the first nine during the 1980s and 1990s. But now with that publisher long gone and their Krazy Kat collections fetching record prices (some over $100!) among collectors its time to go back and get every one of these comic-strip masterpieces back into printre-scanned and re-retouched from original tearsheets using 21st century digital resources. Fantagraphics will be collecting these first nine years of Sundays into three volumes comprising three years apiece starting with this volume: the very first Sundays from 1916 through 1918 and incorporating all the original articles and special features from the first edition including rare art series editor Bill Blackbeards definitive historical overview The Kats Kreation and updated and expanded DeBaffler endnotes explaining some of the arcana behind the strips jokes.Krazy Kat with its eternally beguiling love triangle of kat/dog/mouse its fantastically inventive language and its haunting minimalist desert dcor has consistently been rated the best comic strip ever created and Fantagraphics award-winning series one of the best classic comic-strip reprint series ever published. Krazy &amp; Ignatz 1916-1918 the 11th of a projected 13 volumes collecting the entirety of the Sundays brings us within a bricks throw of finishing The Komplete Kat Sundays once and for all!
