Krazy Kat - 49 Newspaper pages & strips - 1936/1939

Rare surviving episodes from various Sunday Comics sections, featuring episodes of Krazy Kat by George Herriman on one each single full page (pages are 28 x 40 cm) from period 1936-1939. 49 pages Only some images were selected. Comics on the back: Polly and her Pals, Frank Buck, Pussycat Princess, Elmer, Just Kids,... Krazy Kat (also known as Krazy & Ignatz in some reprints and compilations) is an American newspaper comic strip, created by cartoonist George Herriman, which ran from 1913 to 1944. It first appeared in the New York Evening Journal, whose owner, William Randolph Hearst, was a major booster for the strip throughout its run. The characters had been introduced previously in a side strip with Herriman's earlier creation, The Dingbat Family, after earlier appearances in the Herriman comic strip Baron Bean. The phrase "Krazy Kat" originated there, said by the mouse by way of describing the cat. Set in a dreamlike portrayal of Herriman's vacation home of Coconino County, Arizona, Krazy Kat's mixture of offbeat surrealism, innocent playfulness and poetic, idiosyncratic language has made it a favorite of comics aficionados and art critics for more than 80 years The pages are in good condition, although wrinkles, tears, flaking and missing pieces may occur. Will be shipped with track&trace. #specialcollectionservice
