The introduction by Caroline Kelly attributes the delay to the death of Kim Thompson, one of the prime movers at Fantagraphics and the co-editor of the first two volumes. That is certainly sad news, and a very good excuse for the delay, which renews my optimism that perhaps future volumes will remain on a more consistent timeline.<br /><br />I like the cover art a lot less than that for the first two volumes (the Kelly art selected this time around doesn't look phenomenal when blown up to this scale--particularly the Deacon--and Caroline Kelly's painting is a lot less than impressive than the gorgeous work she did on the first two covers). But other than that,a cursory glance reveals another beautiful collection, full of some of Kelly's strongest years. I'm excited to dig in! Between Thom's return to this blog and the long-delayed release of Volume 3, it's a great week for Kelly fans!<br /><br />~CraigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-47426801315092143102014-10-30T16:40:45.554-06:002014-10-30T16:40:45.554-06:00Also - I received email notice today that my copy ...Also - I received email notice today that my copy of Vol. 3 of the Fantagraphics collection (which I preordered about a decade ago, or so it feels) SHIPPED TODAY!!!

It's great to see some brand-new (to me) Kelly, and even nicer to see that you're still spreading the Kelly cheer to this little community you've brought together. The logic in this strip is vintage Kelly. I hope this storyline is "drug out" for some time to come!<br /><br />~CraigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-19827335627335503832014-10-26T08:15:23.111-06:002014-10-26T08:15:23.111-06:00Sure I missed you (and the weekly Pogo!)
