LOAC Essentials reprints the daily newspaper strips that are essential to comics history, in a format that preserves as closely as possible the original reader experience. By reproducing the strips one per page in an oblong format, it allows us to have the experience of reading the comics one day at a time. Each volume contains seminal strips that are unique creations in their right and also contributed to the advancement of the medium, along with panel-by-panel annotations.
