Emily the Strange has captured the spirit of iconoclast style since the early 90’s. Since her humble beginnings in Santa Cruz, Emily’s blunt individualism has spread across the globe. From shopping malls in Tokyo to Dutch Halloween celebrations, German metal clubs to American skate-shops, Emily’s universal appeal has struck a dark note with people everywhere. For nearly two decades, Emily the Strange has evolved with the ever-changing pop-culture landscape, while maintaining her signature style. |
Now, Dark Horse and Cosmic Debris have collected, for the first time, the wide variety of Emily’s artistic diversity in a single place. The Art of Emily the Strange is a beautiful, hardcover edition of some of the property’s most fantastic designs, ranging from silk-screened vinyl stickers to large-scale psychedelic paintings. Contributors include Emily’s creator Rob Reger, long-time collaborator Buzz Parker, and a host of talented guest artists who have been inspired by Emily’s unique spirit. |

“This book is what happens when a bunch of Strangers get together and put their Strangest ideas on paper, in paint, and print,” said Emily creator, Rob Reger.
“This is a grand collection of fine art and drawings that has barely seen the light of day” said long-time collaborator, Buzz Parker. “From the beginning to the end, the Strange remains the same.” |

“Emily is an iconic iconoclast who is at once relentlessly retrograde, creatively creepy, and bristling with bad attitude” said legendary artist, Winston Smith. |
