Hardback
Description
A chronological reprinting of one of the mostimportant comic strips of the 20th Century.
Annie is a cultural icon-inboth her red-headed, blank-eyed appearance, and as the embodiment of Americanindividuality, spunk, and self-reliance.
Even those who've never read thecomic strip are keenly aware of the plucky orphan, her loveable mutt Sandy, andher adoptive benefactor, Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks, through theBroadway play, the hit movie, and the song "Tomorrow," made famousby both. What would you do if you found $100million in currency, gold bullion, and sparkling gems?
Annie has this enviableproblem as the 1940s come to close in Harold Gray's epic Little OrphanAnnie.
America's spunkiest kid, however, fails to heed the advice of themysterious "witch" named Gypsy Belle, who warns of trouble anddanger associated with the treasure.
Soon enough, the wayward waif is evadingmobsters, murderers, and...government tax collectors!
Gray also dramaticallyresponds to the anti-comic-book hysteria in this pre-Seduction of theInnocent era, as Annie and other children try to prevent the adults fromburning down the library! And that's just ONE of the four stories in thebook. "Sunshine and Shadow" reprints all daily and color Sundaystrips from August 19, 1948 through March 12, 1950.
