This is it--where it all began. Ozy and Millie's first phase, in print together for the first time, entirely annotated. The first meeting. The first revelation of Ozy's draconic parentage. Ozy's first extreme haircut. Avery's first attempts to be cool. Early Zen. It's all here.
This was the launching point. Includes material not available on the web site, some of it unearthed and published for the first time anywhere. 176 pages, 8 1/2 by 11 inches.

"Even if you have the previous collections . . . " Grab this one while you can! As those familiar with the strip already know, Ozy and Mille is a delight . . . and this reissue of material from the first two collections not only provides a brief background into the strips initial evolution (all too brief for my tastes, at under 5 pages), Mr. Simpson also offers commentary on each and every strip. If you dislike the commentary, just skip it . . . but I must confess to enjoying such insights. This book collects all the strips up until the author's revamp, which while providiing a natural stopping point, relates to the only flaw I felt was present . . . I think it would have been appropriate to include a sneek-peek at the new character images at the end, to encourage readers to get the next volume. The revisions DO grow on you quickly, and indicate just how far Simpson had grown as an artist, but by not displaying them, I worry that some who are new to the strip might hesitate...
