Emily the Strange: 13 years old. Able to leap tall buildings, probably, if she felt like it. More likely to be napping with her four black cats; or cobbling together a particle accelerator out of lint, lentils, and safety pins; or rocking out on drums/ guitar/saxophone/zither; or painting a swirling feral sewer mural; or forcing someone to say "swirling feral sewer mural" 13 times fast . . . and pointing and laughing.

Whoever it was that told you not to talk to strangers needs to have a talk with Emily... Emily the Strange, that is. Emily knows that nothing is better than talking with strangers. In fact, the stranger the better! But that's Emily for you - she's the thirteen-year-old queen of the cultural underground, and she's too busy making up her own rules to follow anyone else's. That's how we've come up with so many insanely inspired ideas for the stories you'll find in Dark Horse's Emily the Strange Volume 2. This big, bizarre book collects the five most recent issues of Dark Horse's best-selling Emily the Strange comics, so you won't miss a single strange moment from the Rock issue, the Death issue, the Fake issue, the Revenge issue, or the Alone issue! We've all got issues, man. Isn't it time you dealt with at least these five?...

In her fifteen-plus years in existence, oddballs, outcasts, and art freaks the world over have grown to know and love a strange young girl named Emily. With roots in the punk-rock art scene of Santa Cruz skate culture and an early appeal to European trend spotters, the iconic image of Emily and her philosophy of devout individualism have become deeply rooted in global culture. The Art of Emily Volume One is the first-ever collection of images showing the wide and inspired range of artistic styles and mediums that have been used to create the world of Emily the Strange. From skateboard stickers to custom rock-and-roll album art, large-scale psychedelic paintings, and insanely intricate Mongolian paper cutting, the fantastic and artful imaginings of Rob Reger, Buzz Parker, and a staggeringly talented array of collaborators will give insight and inspiration to any Emily fan....

For those about to rock... here's the comic book you'll need when you get there! Rob Reger and Buzz Parker (the creative monsterminds behind Emily the Strange) turn it up to eleven on Emily the Strange: The Rock Issue. Join Emily as she journeys through the "herstory" of rock, stage dives, lights her guitar on fire, plays piano with her teeth, spends an afternoon in Traffic School with Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs... and that's just the beginning!...

Meet Emily and her posse of mischievous black cats. Internationally famous for her barbed commentary and independent spirit, this rebel-child has spawned a merchandising phenomenon. The bestselling book series features her favorite quips....
