Fantagraphics is in the process of reprinting this entire series with new covers and essays, but they have printed it all in the past, so if you can’t wait the used editions are floating around out there.

The daily strips are harder to find, I know of this old Fantagraphics volume, but hopefully we see more printed soon:

I relied heavily on the essays found within the Fantagraphics Sunday collections, some of which are out of print.
