Originally published in hardcover in 2003, The Complete Far Side was a New York Times bestseller.

Now it’s back as a paperback set with a newly designed slipcase that will delight Far Side fans.

A masterpiece of comic brilliance, The Complete Far Side contains every Far Side cartoon ever syndicated - over 4,000! - presented in chronological order by year of publication, with more than 1,100 that had never before appeared in a book.

Also included are additional cartoons Larson created after his retirement and rare insights into the world of The Far Side. Complaint letters, fan letters, and queries from puzzled readers appear alongside some of the more provocative or elusive panels.

Comedian Steve Martin provides a hilariously quirky foreword that captures the offbeat and candid humour underlying each comic.
