About this Collection

This volume collects the next installment of Leonard Starr's classic newspaper strip, following the continuing adventures of model-turned-actress Mary Perkins as she navigates the glamorous and challenging world of show business. Classic Comics Press presents another collection of Starr's beautifully rendered and character-driven storytelling from the series' mid-20th-century run.

In this standout issue of Mary Perkins on Stage, Mary finds herself at the center of a tense European film shoot where romance and mystery collide. When a sudden accident leaves her injured, the enigmatic Madame Bauer—whose past is tied to a painful chapter in Pete’s history—enters the picture with unsettling familiarity. Written, drawn, and inked by Leonard Starr, the story unfolds with quiet intensity, blending suspense and personal history in a way only this creator could deliver. The cover, also by Starr, captures the moment’s emotional weight with striking precision.
