Nancy is Happy: Complete Dailies 1943-1945 (Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy)

Nancy joins Peanuts and Popeye at Fantagraphics! Nancy Volume 1, the first in an ongoing series, collects every daily strip of Ernie Bushmiller's hyper-stylized, nearly abstract comic from 1942-1945 in a fat, square format (designed by the award-winning Jacob Covey). It includes a biography of Bushmiller and many more extras. The zen-like Nancy is the distillation of a newspaper comic strip, so much so that it illustrates the "comic strip" entry in the American Heritage Dictionary.
