The Complete "Omaha" the Cat Dancer: Volume 6 (6) Paperback – April 1, 2007

One of the most controversial and debated comics ever produced. Controversial because of the graphic sex displayed in every issue. Debated because, if one bothered to read the material, it is obvious that the book was more about sex. It was simply one part of the character’s very busy lives. In fact, it seems at times as if the writer would’ve liked to leave the sexual material in the past, but it was too established as being part of the series to completely abandon.This is the penultimate volume before the original run of the comic ends, and we come to the final book completed in the early 2000s, which takes up volume 8. This volume collects issues 18, 19, & 20, plus four shorter pieces done for other comics featuring the world of Omaha.The first is a five pager where Omaha is accidentally sucked into the Cynosphere. For those who don’t know, the Cynosphere is a place where all dimensions meet and all worlds exist simultaneously and is the setting for the comic Grimjack- of which I never cared for. It’s a fun story, but not part of the whole of Omaha cannon- if you care about that sort of stuff. It was originally published in Munden’s Bar Annual #2. The next two, one is untitled and the other called “Waking Up Under a Tent”, were created for the book The Erotic Art of Reed Waller, while the last “Rob Steps Out” was drawn for Gay Comics #22 and features Omaha’s resident gay character Rob in San Francisco.

Enjoyed the entire transaction-quick delivery, sound packaging, accurate description.

An ongoing series that has a following. I now have all eight (8) volumes which completes the collection. I've enjoyed the new content that was added to the stories.

Great Stories, wish I could get Volume Five at a reasonable price.

If you haven't seen Omaha, the series is hard to describe. The long story arc moves around a handful of major characters, their lives, and their loves. That includes some real grownup loving, so this definitely isn't for the kiddies, despite the anthropomorphized menagerie that makes it up. The part that's hard to describe is its appeal, why these characters grow on me the way they do, but they certainly do.In this sequence, Omaha splits for a while, the investigation into Bonner's death gets close to home, and we find yet another with good reason to dance on his grave. The other characters's lives advance, too. Nothing thrilling, but it's a warm and affectionate tone makes it all worth while.As with a soap opera, it's hard to jump into the middle - the characters' back-story matters too much. So go back, start with vol. 1, and work your way here.-- wiredweird

It's hard to give these two enough praise for the Omaha series -- it's a set of books that makes you stand up and take notice, because despite the cartooniness and the funny-animal format, and even the up-front graphic sex, these are characters that have real lives and real problems and who have to work through their stuff in order to work with each other.So you're not looking at the cardboard cutouts seen in so many books, nor at the sex-crazed stereotypes of so many others -- rather these present an honest look at sex and morality and depression and confusion and love.One day, when the schools are presenting their watered-down sperm-and-egg routine, I hope to be able to hand these books to whatever kids I have and offer to talk with them about all of the issues and stuff it brings up. I can't think of a better education. It's just too bad schools don't have the guts for it.
