Nancy: A Comic Collection

In 2018, the iconic comic strip character Nancy was rebooted by Olivia Jaimes, the first female creator in the strip's 80-year run. Her modern-yet-classic look and smart, edgy sensibility earned Jaimes and Nancy a year of headlines and features in major news outlets. This book collection includes the first nine months of Jaimes' take on Nancy, which Smithsonian Magazine named "The perfect comic strip for 2018." Since Nancy was re-launched in April 2018 with its first woman creator in the strip's 80-year history, the classic-turned-modern comic strip has become a bona fide sensation. Olivia Jaimes' wry, self-referential, tech-savvy take on the iconic orphan girl has earned praise from fans of original creator Ernie Bushmiller's offbeat humor, while also getting shout-outs on Twitter from the most popular and cutting edge web cartoonists. Jaimes' Nancy has been the subject of features and critical praise in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Onion's AV Club, Vice, Comics Beat, Vulture, Vox, Smithsonian Mag, and many others. This collection includes the first nine months of Jaimes' revamped Nancy, complete with extras such as spot art, outtakes, an introduction and a Q&A with the author.
