Revival and Reprints
The strip was briefly revived, with adaptations of the early stories minus their World War II references, for a run from September 1960 to 14 April 1962. These strips were redrawn in Johnson's style by Warren Sattler.
Barnaby received much critical praise when it first appeared, and it has been reprinted in Barnaby Quarterly (three issues, 1940s), by Henry Holt and Company (two hardcover books, with strips redrawn), Dover books (reprinting the first hardcover, 1960s), Ballantine Books (six paperbacks, 1980s) and in Comics Revue magazine. These reprints still command high prices from used book dealers.
Fantagraphics Books plans to publish a series of collections reprinting the entire run of the strip beginning in 2012. Daniel Clowes will design the books.

Famous quotes containing the word revival:
“Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
