"Fantagraphics Books has announced a collection of Crockett Johnson&amp;#039;s Barnaby. The near-complete collection will be designed by Daniel Clowes (Ghost World), claims The Comics Reporter, and will include the strip&amp;#039;s ten-year run from 1942 to 1952. It follows the adventures of young Barnaby Baxter and his cigar-smoking fairy godfather Jackeen J. O&amp;#039;Malley. The first volume in the long-awaited collection will be released in April 2012 to coincide with the release of Philip Nel&amp;#039;s biography The Purple Crayon and a Hole to Dig: The Lives of Crockett Johnson and Ruth Krauss.
