Media Release -- Fans of classic newspaper strips now have a website dedicated to offering everything they want to know about all new and upcoming releases from IDW's Eisner nominated imprint, The Library of American Comics.
"We often come across backstory items in our research that don't necessarily make it into the books," Creative Director Dean Mullaney said. "We'll post them here so this website becomes an ephemeral addendum to the Library's releases."
The new website features a blog written by Mullaney and Associate Editor Bruce Canwell, offering behind the scenes production notes, links to reviews and interviews, plus plenty of web exclusives. The website also contains a convenient "Buy Now" button, and will soon be adding a "Search inside" feature.
Since it was established in 2007, The Library of American Comics has been nominated for a total of six Eisner Awards, including two this year for "Best Archival Collection/Project-Strips." Bringing Up Father collects the most famous of George McManus's storylines and was edited by Canwell, while Bloom County: The Complete Library Volume One begins the first comprehensive reprinting of Berkeley Breathed's 1980s classic strip and was edited by Scott Dunbier.
