Paperback. Condition: Very Good.

The first book collection of Edge City introduces readers to husband, father, weekend rocker, and busy courier service owner Len and his constantly self-improving wife Abby, whose titles include professional therapist, mom to children Colin and Carly, and daughter to active older adults Morris and Edna.

Terry LaBan offered this description of the strip: Edge City is a daily comic strip internationally syndicated by King Features, that satirizes modern family life through the eyes of a post-Baby Boomer, Jewish-American family.

There are also a number of peripheral characters, like Rajiv, Len's Indian-American partner, and Abby's parents.
