Volume 5 - 1st printing. Story and art by Crockett Johnson. The longlost comic strip masterpiece by legendary childrens book author Crockett Johnson, is finally collected and designed by acclaimed graphic novelist and Barnaby superfan Daniel Clowes (Ghost World). Volume Five collects the final twoplus years of the strip, including the rarelyifeverseen conclusion of the strip, as fiveyearold Barnaby Baxter says goodbye to his Fairy Godfather, Mr. OMalley.

The magic of Barnaby resides in its canny mix of fantasy and satire, amplified by the understated elegance of Crockett Johnsons clean, spare art.
