  • Book Four of Berkeley Breathed's Eisner Award-winning series and New York
    Times best-seller features some of the most fondly remembered Bloom
    County cartoons, both from a humor standpoint and from a biting, political
    one. This is the period for which Breathed won a Pulitzer Prize, the highest
    award in journalism, for editorial cartooning. Breathed is one of only two
    cartoonists to win a Pulitzer for editorial cartooning (Garry Trudeau was also a
    recipient for Doonesbury ).
  • This volume begins more than six weeks after the strips in Volume Three
    conclude. This is because of a near-death experience suffered by Breathed, who,
    having broken his back in an ultralight-plane crash, was unable to continue his
    daily grind and the strip went on hiatus for nearly two months. Breathed went on
    to incorporate some of his experiences into one of the most famous Bloom
    County sequences ever - Steve Dallas breaking his back after being
    attacked by an enraged Sean Penn!
-The
Library of American Comics is the world's #1 publisher of classic newspaper
comic strips, with 14 Eisner Award nominations and three wins for best book.
LOAC has become "the gold standard for archival comic strip reprints...The
research and articles provide insight and context, and most importantly the
glorious reproduction of the material has preserved these strips for those who
knew them and offers a new gateway to adventure for those discovering them for
the first time." - Scoop
