From the publisher:

Four complete stories, eighty-seven Sunday episodes, of David Wright's Jo, another nearly-forgotten Carol Day precursor strip. This is the first and only printing of Jo since its original publication.

David Wright's Jo is a typical adventure strip for the fifties – a young, beautiful girl is thrust into danger with her partner, and their adventures take them to exotic locales in a series of loosely plotted melodramas.

Jo is somewhat distinguished from Judy in the quality of the art. While the early episodes of Judy are a warmup for Wright, in Jo he has fully gotten his footing and the art shines from the first day.

Our source material is tearsheets, and they are not the ideal source for reprinting strips. However, original art and proofs are unavailable (as far as we know they are not extant). We have adjusted contrast, lightness and black levels to provide as consistent and enjoyable experience as possible.

Like Judy, we believe Jo is a minor gem by one of the greatest strip artists to practice the art and well worth fans' attention in spite of the limitations of our source.

This is the complete run of Jo, comprising episodes 1-87, February 28, 1954 through December 11, 1955, compiled from the original tearsheets, casebound with printed endpapers. Limited to 500 copies.

Wright, David
