Carol Day: Showcase

Plot

Collectors often ask what makes the Carol Day comic strip, an obscure and seldom seen newspaper strip from the United Kingdom, so special to a small but growing band of fanatics.

For many fans, the art is the hook, and most collectors instantly recognize that this art and this artist are levels above what we usually encounter in a comic strip. This quickly leads people to want to learn and see more.

For Carol Day this has been very difficult historically as the strip hasn't been significantly reprinted and it never achieved wide circulation in newspapers. This book presents, for the first time, the full range of Carol Day art, from Wright's first story to his last, with examples from every story.

We've gathered 136 outstanding Carol Day examples from across Wright's run to display. All are reproduced from the original art to present the flavour of the strip and the magnitude of Wright's achievement.
