Born with both blessings and misfortune, life had always been simple and clear for Duke Lennox Carlisle of the North. Life and death. Black and white. Take what he wanted, discard what had no use. The woman who had come to him seven years ago—offering herself as a contractual lover in exchange for vengeance against her parents’ murderers—was no exception. “Because… I fell in love at first sight.” It was a satisfying bargain. Juliet Monad—clever, secretive, and sharp-witted. A convenient relationship, one he could sever at any moment once the childish game of playing lovers grew dull. At least, that’s what he believed. “I want to stop now. I don’t love you anymore.” The woman who once clung to him with a face serene as winter and warm as spring, confessed her farewell instead, stabbing him with the sharpest blade before running away. For Juliet Monad, the fallen earl’s daughter and the duke’s foolish, short-lived lover, life had always been fair yet cruel. It was as if fate granted her a second life, yet denied her the chance to change anything. The baby she never held, the parents she couldn’t save. Her first love—arrogant like summer and cruel like autumn— a man who, this time as well, would eventually forget her forever. Standing before a locked door, Juliet thought: The key in her hand was small and shabby, and the sturdy door before her would never open. If she couldn’t escape her destined fate no matter how much she struggled—what was she to do? Juliet made a proposal to the man who had once been her first love. “Help me avenge them, and I’ll give you what you desire.” Rather than be deceived and discarded again, this time she would use him, and let herself be used— only to end the relationship on her own terms first. On the seventh year since she abandoned her contractual lover and fled, at the end of a pursuit burning with cold misunderstandings and betrayal, Juliet heard—for the very first time—the sound of fate’s unyielding chains beginning to crack. “You lost, Juliet. So give it up.” “If you wanted to run, you shouldn’t have let it slip that you were carrying my child.” The door opened, and the secret was exposed. From the storm stirred by a butterfly’s wings, a long-awaited promise—and revenge—at last began

Walt Kelly started his career at age 13 in Connecticut as a cartoonist and reporter for the Bridgeport Post. In 1935, he moved to Los Angeles and joined the Walt Disney Studio, where he worked on classic animated films, including Pinocchio, Dumbo, and Fantasia. Rather than take sides in a bitter labor strike, he moved back east in 1941 and began drawing comic books. It was during this time that Kelly created Pogo Possum. The character first appeared in Animal Comics as a secondary player in the “Albert the Alligator” feature. It didn’t take long until Pogo became the comic’s leading character. After WWII, Kelly became artistic director at the New York Star, where he turned Pogo into a daily strip. By late 1949, Pogo appeared in hundreds of newspapers. Until his death in 1973, Kelly produced a feature that has become widely cherished among casual readers and aficionados alike. Kelly blended nonsense language, poetry, and political and social satire to make Pogo an essential contribution to American “intellectual” comics. As the strip progressed, it became a hilarious platform for Kelly’s scathing political views in which he skewered national bogeymen like J. Edgar Hoover, Joseph McCarthy, George Wallace, and Richard Nixon. Walt Kelly started when newspaper strips shied away from politics —— Pogo was ahead of its time and ahead of later strips (such as Doonesbury and The Boondocks) that tackled political issues. Our first (of 12) volume reprints approximately the first two years of Pogo —— dailies and (for the first time) full-color Sundays. This first volume also introduces such enduring supporting characters as Porkypine, Churchy LaFemme, Beauregard Bugleboy, Seminole Sam, Howland Owl, and many others. And for Christmas, 1949, Kelly started his tradition of regaling his readers with his infamously and gloriously mangled Christmas carols. Special features in this sumptuous premiere volume, which is produced with the full cooperation of Kelly’s heirs, include a biographical introduction by Kelly biographer Steve Thompson, an extensive section by comics historian R.C. Harvey explaining some of the more obscure current references of the time (read an unexpurgated version here), a foreword by legendary columnist Jimmy Breslin, and more.
