The Best of the Tribune Co.

From 1985 to 1986, Dragon Lady Press released The Best of the Tribune Co., a four-issue series reprinting classic newspaper strips from the Tribune Company’s vast archive. The collection highlights the work of legendary cartoonists Harold Gray, Jerry Capp, and Leonard Starr, with art also featuring Joe Kubert. This series matters as a curated snapshot of mid-century American comic strips, preserving the storytelling and visual style of an era when the daily funnies were a national pastime.
