"To tell the truth, I had never even found the characters to be very interesting. So the discovery of the beautiful new Blondie: The Complete Daily Comic Strips From 1930-1933 was a surprising revelation. Blondie may have always been perky, attractive, and "ditzy." But she actually began life as a far more complex, independent, and powerful woman that anyone has ever given her credit for…Every single strip is faithfully reproduced from the years 1930-1933 in this book. Everything about Blondie: The Complete Daily Comic Strips From 1930-1930 is first class. This is a coffee-table book that has already sparked a number of conversations among my guests...Place such a gorgeous book down, and say no more. This is art, history, nostalgia - and whatever else you wish to call it, all rolled up in one magnificent collection."
