    Volume 12 - 1st printing. "1918: Baron Bean: The Complete Third Year!"

    Story and Art by George Joseph Harriman.

    Reprinted for the very first time, these century-old strips comprise a key early work from the creator of Krazy Kat, perhaps the most lauded cartoonist of all time. This book concludes a three-volume LOAC Essentials sub-series by presenting the final year of Baron Bean, one of Herriman's richest and funniest creations, second only to Krazy Kat, whose citizens occasionally grace these panels.

    The New York Journal of Books said that the first volume of LOAC Essentials (Baron Bean) "sets the standard for archival and reprint quality."

    Hardcover (Horizontal Format), 11 1/2-in. x 4 1/2-in., 328 pages, B&W.

    Cover price $29.99.
