Berkeley Breathed’s Bloom County is Back!

IDW announced the publication of the first in a new series of Bloom County Collections, debuting in the Summer of 2016.

Berkeley Breathed’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Bloom County ran from 1980 until 1989, when Breathed walked away from the strip at the peak of its popularity.  In the summer of 2015, the cast of Bloom County (Opus, Bill the Cat, Milo, Steve Dallas, and more) returned to life via social media.  When asked why he brought back Bloom County, Berkeley simply said that doing the strip “…has suddenly become…what’s the word…fun”.

The world has never been more ready for Berkeley Breathed’s biting satire and skewering humor to make a return and, more importantly, on his own terms, free of the editorial constraints of corporately owned newspaper syndicates.
