This outrageous absence has finally been rectified now that Dark Horse has committed to reprinting the series as competitively priced $10 black and white paperbacks collections. Volume two of the projected 17 books, which appear bi-monthly and will reprint all the comics through issue #85, has just been released. For the same price as a manga book, "Little Lulu" draws you into a world that remains as funny and fresh as it was fifty...
