Maakies TPB (2000 Fantagraphics) comic books 1990 or later

1st printing. Story and art by by Tony Millionaire. Tony Millionaire's comic strip Maakies is possibly the most popular weekly comic strip in America. Running weekly in Seattle, New York, Cleveland, and other state newspapers, the strip also began running last season as an animated segment on NBC's Saturday Night Live. This is the very first Maakies collection and reprints every strip from its inception in February of 1994 to 1996. In Maakies, Millionaire focuses on the adventures of an alcoholic and suicidal crow, mixed with shockingly elegant depictions of nautical adventures. It's all uncannily crafted with Millionaire's breathtaking line, which eerily reproduces the feel and spirit of classic newspaper strips of the first half of the 20th century. The strip is routinely funny, bombastic, endearing and unpredictable. Maakies is designed by Millionaire and the design giant on Batman: The Complete History, Chip Kidd. Softcover (Horizontal Format), 8-in. x 10-in., 136 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.95.
