From 1992 to 1999 , '' The Independent '' ran Blegvad 's strangely surreal comic strip , '' Leviathan '' , which received much critical praise for blending some of the most interesting elements of Krazy Kat with a coming-of-age-esque story akin to Calvin and Hobbes . Some of the strips have been collected in the 2001 volume '' The Book of Leviathan '' . In 2013 the book was published as '' Le livre de Leviathan '' in French and received the " Prix Révélation " at the 41st Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2014 . Other comics and illustrations by Blegvad have appeared in '' The Ganzfeld '' and Ben Katchor 's '' Picture Story 2 ''
