After a four-year sabbatical, beloved revolutionary sweetheart Arthur returns to print, renewed, refreshed, reinvigorated and in a bold new format: pages as tall and wide as a daily newspaper on compostable newsprint, with ads only on the back cover(s). Amazing! In partnership with Portland, Oregonโs Floating World Comics, Arthurโs gang of idiots, know-it-alls and village explainers are back, edited by olโ fool Jay Babcock and art directed by Yasmin Khan.
