The best collection of Harold Gray's classic adventure comic strip. Great reading. My favorite comic strip of all time.

From the publisher:

Now with all Sundays in color for the first time in more than 75 years! The action never stops as Annie gets shipwrecked with Spike Marlin for months on end. Then the Depression and rival businessmen wreck "Daddy" Warbucks's empire, leaving him broke and ruined. He and Annie rent a cheap room from Maw Green, and Annie gets a job, while "Daddy" finds work as a truck driver. But a near fatal accident leaves him blind! He meets Flop-House Bill and hatches a plot to claw his way back to the top against the very same rascals who forced him to lose everything in the first place!

Volume 3 in The Library of American Comics presentation of Little Orphan Annie includes every daily and Sunday from April, 1930 until the end of 1931.

Edited and designed by Eisner-Award winner Dean Mullaney

"Check out The Complete Little Orphan Annie by Harold Gray. The blank-eyed orphan was far grittier and moving than the saccharine Annie you know from the damn musical. [It] started in 1924 in a world chillingly like ours: crawling with cake-eaters, greedy bankers and international con men who exploit the hardscrabble working stiffs Annie hangs with when her "Daddy" isn't around to protect her. The cartoonist, a tightlipped Midwestern Dickens, pushes the virtues of honesty, pluck, and hard work in adventures that can melt the heart of even hard-boiled cynics like I pretend to be." -- Art Spiegelman
