Fantagraphics to collect Crockett Johnson's Barnaby comic strip

This is great news. I loved Crockett Johnson's "Harold and the Purple Crayon" and its sequels as a kid and my own children loved it as well. While, I never had a chance to read "Barnaby," I'm a fan of Johnson's gentle whimsical humor and his lovely, simple art style.

Fantagraphics wishes to make public that it’s reached an agreement to publish a major, all-but-complete collection of Crockett Johnson’s Barnaby. One of the best comic strips of the 20th Century and one of the most beloved older strips for a generation of devoted adult comics fans, Barnaby had become in the last decade and a half the great unsigned strip collection.
