Jack Stropp

A product of the Bronze Age newspaper comics scene, Jack Stropp made his debut in The Calgary Herald Comic Book #49 in 1979, brought to life by creator Bill Hinds for the Calgary Herald's own homegrown publication. Sharing pages with an eclectic cast that includes Trixie Flagston, Buck Rogers, and Flo Capp, Jack occupies a wonderfully specific slice of Canadian comics history — the kind of regional gem that collectors love to unearth. With only a handful of catalog appearances across a brief 1979–1980 window, he's a rare find and a genuine curiosity for anyone passionate about the full, sprawling breadth of the Bronze Age beyond the mainstream.
