Essentials, Vol. 2: The Gumps: The Saga of Mary
Gold
Sidney Smith (w & a & c)
In the late 1910s, Sidney Smith developed a formula of the daily
strip that would make The Gumps one of the most popular
comics of the 1920s and himself one of the richest cartoonists of
his day. By the end of the decade Sidney Smith's The
Gumps had secured a huge and loyal audience with a decade of
melodrama, adventure, mystery, and comedy. So devoted were his
readers, in fact, that they regularly wrote in to offer advice for
his characters' love lives and business decisions and they
generally treated the characters as friends and family members. In
1928-29, with the launching of what would be his most famous story,
"The Saga of Mary Gold," Smith's relationship to his readers would
be tested as never before. Its heartbreaking conclusion would
change comics forever. Here for the first time since the story made
headlines across America in the spring of 1929 we reprint the saga
that Hogan's Alley magazine called "One of the Ten Biggest Events
in Comics History"—a tale that has lost none of its power to
captivate readers in the 21st Century.
