Compilation of books of Jim Davis's comic strip Garfield. These books, generally released twice a year by Ballantine Books, contain reprints of the comic as it appears in newspapers daily. These books were originally printed in black and white, but volumes 37 and later have been in full color. Each book collects approximately six months of comics, including the Sunday comics (in black and white in all except the recent editions). Each of the original 36 books will be re-released in the new larger format, dubbed “Garfield Classics”. So far, the first 34 books have been reprinted in this format.
