Bloom County Books

Bloom County reflects the world of the 1980s - a world of materialism, greed, hope and excitement like a mirror. Beloved by those who grew up reading it, Bloom County today stands as a perfect, hilarious time capsule of everything that occurred during that decade. But more than that, it is hilarious - Berke Breathed has created characters that stand the test of time.

1987

A Bloom County Book
Softcover
Size: 10 x 9 inches

Yes, this is an amazing collection of Bloom County comics. Yes, they do feature rock and heavy metal, groupies, and even the infamous series of amazing strips where Steve Dallas quits smoking (the book is worth buying for these strips alone). But Billy and the Boingers bootleg is special for reasons other than the strips - it contains an actual 45 RPM record that can be played on a turntable! Featuring two hit songs from Billy and the Boingers, this book and record is a must-buy! ISBN 0316107298
Bloom County Book - Tales Too Ticklish to Tell Tales Too Ticklish to Tell
By Berke Breathed
1988

A Bloom County Book
Softcover
Size: 10 x 9 inches

Penguin lust. Know anyone suffering from this sin? Any penguins perhaps? Fundamentally Oral Bill, the new and cleaned-up persona of Bill the Cat, is warning his flock of penguin lust - and it looks like Opus may be on the "outs" in Bloom County. Will Opus be forced to leave? Read this great collection of Bloom County strips to find out! Also features a funny run of comics related to a comic strike, dandelion sniffing, and Lola and Opus' wedding. ISBN 0316107352
Bloom County Book - The Night of the Mary Kay Commandos The Night of the Mary Kay Commandos
By Berke Breathed
1989

A Bloom County Book
Softcover
Size: 10 x 9 inches

There are many reasons to buy this tome: the brilliantly funny scalp tonic stories, Steve Dallas getting a perm and even Opus attempting to smoke a cigarette (he quits "cold puffin", not cold turkey). But those are not the reasons you should buy this book. The one, and most important reason to buy The Night of the Mary Kay Commandos is for SMELL-O-TOONS. Using Smell-o-Toons technology embedded in the center of the book (a special scratch-n-sniff page), you too can bask in the fragrant, smelly world of Mary Kay. BUY IT TO SMELL IT! ISBN 0316107387

Milo, Binkley, Opus, Steve, Bill the Cat, Cutter John, even Lola Granola - they're all here, and this is their last hurrah. This volume contains the very last Bloom County strips, and the reader gets to say goodbye to the iconic and beloved characters contained within. Saying goodbye is often bittersweet, but Happy Trails makes it more sweet than bitter. ISBN 0316107417
