Presenting a unique, stand-alone companion to Fantagraphics' Krazy & Ignatz series. The Kat Who Walked In Beauty collects many rare and unique dailies from the 1910s and 1920s. Though many readers are aware of Herriman's dynamic Sunday pages, few know that during 1920, in what must have been an editorially unrestrictive period for Herriman, he drew some of the most graphic and brilliantly conceived daily strips ever created; they look like "mini-Sunday" strips. This nine-month stretch of dailies, never-before-reprinted, is among the treasures included in this collection. The collection includes many other Herriman gems, including the very first stand-alone Krazy & Ignatz strips from 1911, and the illustrations from Herriman's Krazy Kat Jazz pantomime/ballet, performed to captivated New York audiences in 1922. This book fills in several gaps in the daily strip history, reproduced at close to their original size.

George Herriman was one of the "greats" in the world of comic strips, and
Krazy Kat
is his greatest strip. Krazy Kat first appeared in Herriman's
The Family Upstairs
in 1910, and received it's own strip in 1913. But it was in the Sunday pages that Herriman's genius reached full flower. Unfettered by space restrictions, Herriman's
Krazy Kat
developed into a visual and narrative classic. Included in this volume, is a reprint of Gilbert Seldes' famous article
The Kat That Walks By Himself
and a chronology of Herriman's life and career. The bulk of the book is made up of daily and Sunday strips from throughout the run of
Krazy Kat.
