Product Description:
From one of the funniest minds–and pens–of our time, at last, the definitive collection of the very best of Opus, everyones favorite maladjusted penguin.One of Americas most beloved comic geniuses is back, with this collectible 25th anniversary compendium of the best of Opus, joined by his hilarious supporting cast, including Binkley, Milo, Bill the Cat, Steve Dallas, Ronald Ann, and the rest of the residents of Bloom County and Outland.From Antarctica to Omaha, Opus has cavorted with space creatures, impersonated rock stars, fended off accusations of penguin lust, and even campaigned for office. Now, in addition to the classic strips, Berkeley Breathed also brings us never-before-collected Bloom County cartoons and original all-new material from his Opus comics.Brace yourself for the sidesplitting, table-pounding, milk-through-the-nose-spewing laughter that only Opus and his outlandish friends can generate. The perfect collection for both die-hard fans and those discovering the matchless humor of Berkeley Breathed for the first time.

Opus: 25 Years by R. Corkery
Great compilation of Bloom County’s characters, that follows the storyline of Opus thru it’s journey to find his mother.

Great collection by David Edmonds
A fantastic look at the origins and future of one of my favorite comic strip characters, Opus the Penguin. Sometimes nostalgic, sometimes poignant, sometimes a little politically charged, always funny, this is some of Berkeley Breathed’s best Opus strips.

Sundays haven’t been the same since…. by C. Fico
….Opus left us. What loveable charachters lived in Bloom County! And I miss them every day. Not only did Berkeley Breathed touch on some timely topics, but his sharp political humor is definately lacking in todays comics. This is a great collection; and it helps to fill the void since we last saw Opus, Binkley, Steve Dallas, Bill the Cat and the rest of the residents of Bloom County.

Come back, Opus…come back!

A walk down memory lane . . . by Krusty Fan
I was a huge fan of Bloom County back during it’s first run way back when. I looked forward to turning to the comics page for my daily laugh. Opus was one of many great characters in that strip, but he stood out because he was the only penguin.

Reading these strips covering not only the original run, but also the resurrected strip, brought back a lot of good laughs and provided some new ones.

May Opus live forever.
