My older brother liked “Bloom County” long before I did. I read my brother’s paperback collections as a kid and now I am collecting the new hardback editions. Although there are some older cultural references to Tammy Faye Baker and Boy George, the strip holds up extremely well. “Bloom County” relies on the characters and Breathed is not afraid to change them, so the strip never falls in a rut. Because he was able to talk about cultural and political topics (even getting his strip put on the editorial page of some papers), Breathed always had new gags and ideas. “Bloom County” never fails to make me laugh and that’s the mark of a great strip. ( ) As a child of the eighties, the only two comic strips I followed seriously were The Far Side and Bloom County, a fact which probably says more about me than it does this collection of the first two years of Bloom County's run. Going back over these strips from the early days of Berkeley Breathed's artistic output, it is interesting to see the first glimpses of what eventually become Bloom County's overriding themes, and Breathed's occasional notes explaining possibly outdated cultural references and pointing out early glimmers of what was to come are helpful in piecing it all together. Opus doesn't come into the fold until about halfway through this volume, and neither his nose nor Binkley's hair reach the size and shape I became accustomed to before the end of this collection. An excellent blast from the past. All the Bloom County strips from 1980 to near the end of 1982, plus some bonus strips from the pre-Bloom County Academia Waltz? Yes please. While the comic itself doesn't start to hit its stride until the second half of this collection (as Breathed himself says, it is with the arrival of Opus that the strip finds its center), this collection is well worth the purchase. Amusing most of the time, laugh-out-loud funny at times. A lot of old political and pop-culture references (with historical information added in on the side of the strips on occasion, in case you don't get a joke because you don't know who, say, Olivia Newton-John is), so I am not sure if this would appeal to those who didn't grow up with the strip. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: Specially formatted digital edition! Collecting every strip from December 8, 1980, through December 31, 1981, in chronological order, with a new cover insert by Breathed. Berkeley Breathed's Bloom County burst onto the American comic scene in December 1980 and it soon became one of the most popular comic strips of all time. The endearing and quirky denizens of the strip included Milo Bloom, Steve Dallas, Michael Binkley, Cutter John, Bill the Cat, and Opus the Penguin. Bloom County was a strip that dealt with many issues relevant to the period. Occasional "Context comments" are added throughout this collection, giving the reader a greater understanding of the time. This is the first time Bloom County has been collected in a digital library. IDW will add more volumes, one year per volume. Each newspaper strip is reproduced in chronological order from first to last. Great effort has been made to ensure the highest production values are achieved. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
