From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ignatz Series is an international comic imprint. It is published by Fantagraphics Books (U.S.), Avant Verlag (Germany), Vertige (France), Oog & Blik (Holland), Coconino Press (Italy), and Sinsentido (Spain). It is named for Ignatz Mouse, a character in the acclaimed comic strip Krazy Kat.

The books in the Ignatz series are designed midway between comic book "pamphlets" and graphic novels. Each title is 32-pages, 2-color, saddlestitched, 8 1/2” x 11", with jacket, priced at $7.95.

The Ignatz collection is edited and produced by Italian artist Igort. Fantagraphics editor Kim Thompson frequently provides translations.
