MUST-HAVE ADDITION FOR ANY TRUE FAN!

Format: Paperback

I would have bought this even if I already had every strip from it in my library. The “holiday” angle is an ubercool twist and the collection comes with a snazzy glossy binder to hold the three books together (although I haven’t decided if I will display it with that included or not). But the real treat here is that it includes the famous 12/13/93 to 12/17/93 run, where Garfield ships Nermal to Santa’s workshop at the North Pole. These strips have never been included in a trade paperback before so this one is a no-brainer! There had been a lot of buzz in the community that this collection would include those strips, but even still it would be impossible to describe the joy and excitement I felt when I first ripped open the package and hurriedly (but carefully) flipped through each book to see that they were actually there. Amazing! You will not regret adding this to your collection!!!
