LOAC Essentials, Vol. 2: The Gumps: The Saga of Mary Gold
Sidney Smith (w & a & c)
In the late 1910s, Sidney Smith developed a formula of
the daily strip that would make The Gumps one of the most popular comics of the
1920s and himself one of the richest cartoonists of his day. By the end of the
decade Sidney Smith's The Gumps had secured a huge and loyal audience with a
decade of melodrama, adventure, mystery, and comedy. So devoted were his
readers, in fact, that they regularly wrote in to offer advice for his
characters' love lives and business decisions and they generally treated the
characters as friends and family members. In 1928-29, with the launching of
what would be his most famous story, "The Saga of Mary Gold," Smith's
relationship to his readers would be tested as never before. Its heartbreaking
conclusion would change comics forever. Here for the first time since the story
made headlines across America in the spring of 1929 we reprint the saga that
Hogan's Alley magazine called "One of the Ten Biggest Events in Comics
History"—a tale that has lost none of its power to captivate readers in
the 21st Century.
