Jack Lake Classics

Jack Lake Classics, launched in 2014 by Jack Lake Productions Inc., is a nine-issue series that reprints vintage newspaper comic strips from the early-to-mid 20th century, often highlighting lesser-known or long-unseen strips. The series is notable for its preservation-focused mission, presenting these strips in a clean, accessible format with historical context from editor and comics historian Peter Maresca. It matters as a dedicated archival project that brings forgotten gems of the comic strip medium back into print for modern readers.
