Originally created by writer Alan Hebden and artist Carlos Ezquerra, Sugar Jones was a popular strip in the early 1980s, blending action and adventure with a strong female lead. This volume brings together her key adventures for modern readers.
Sugar Jones sets off on a wild quest across Africa, chasing the legend of a British boy raised by apes. When she finally tracks him down, she brings him back to civilization—only to face the complicated consequences of her discovery.
When the American soul singer Sugar Jones hits the UK charts, her namesake—British pop star Susie Ford—can't stand the competition and plots to ruin the Rockettes' appearance on Sugar's show. The tension builds as two singers with the same name go head-to-head in a battle of fame, style, and sabotage.
Sugar Jones is on the brink of a big move—leaving her life in Britain behind to chase stardom in California—only to realize too late that the man promising her fame is a con-man who’s already taken ten thousand pounds from her. With Susie Ford and Lionel Gregg caught in the whirlwind, the stakes feel real, the laughs are sharp, and the road ahead is anything but smooth.
Sugar Jones tricks Mr. and Lily Simple into handing over their home with a promise of warmth and comfort—only to send them to an old folks home as unpaid staff, where they’ll sleep in the furnace room. With Susie Ford watching from the sidelines and Sister Dragon quietly observing, the truth behind Sugar’s kindness begins to unravel.
Sugar Jones hatches a scheme to land a spot in a 'Cream Dish' commercial, hoping to impress the charming star—only to find the man behind the smile is a retired acrobat with a past that’s anything but glamorous. With Susie Ford and Rod Gregory caught in the chaos, the joke’s on her when the dream role turns into an unexpected lesson in reality.
Sugar Jones takes a stand against the planned motorway through her village, pitching an alternate route across land she owns—her gamble could turn personal profit into a community turning point. With Susie Ford by her side, the stakes rise as ideals clash with ambition in this sharp, quietly funny drama.
Sugar Jones has a plan: paint some dazzling mirrors and snag a spot on the Jackdaw TV show, where she’s sure the charming host will fall for her charm—especially if she’s the one holding the mirror. With Susie Ford’s skeptical eye and Mike Roberts’ quiet support, Sugar’s scheme unfolds in three pages of playful ambition and teenage dreams. Penny Hanson watches it all with a mix of amusement and curiosity, wondering if this is just another one of Sugar’s wild ideas—or something more.
Sugar Jones stirs up drama among the other models by insisting she’s the only one worthy of being the Carelli calendar’s face for every month. When the photographer responds with a twist, he swaps out the models for cars—each month spotlighting a different vehicle in a way that redefines the calendar’s meaning.
Sugar Jones commissions a portrait from a rising artist, unaware that her chosen painter, Susie Ford, works in bold abstract style—leaving Sugar to navigate the unexpected transformation of her likeness into something far from literal.
Sugar Jones bets the construction crew next door she can build her own structure faster—using nothing but sheer determination and a few well-placed insults—while Susie Ford, Humphrey Highrise, Jim Stone, and Martha Stone watch, skeptical and increasingly amused.
Sugar Jones, Susie Ford, and Larry Loot pull off a series of increasingly absurd bank robberies—complete with dramatic flair and amateur actors—just to get the attention of a skeptical TV producer staying at a nearby hotel. With a mix of bold ambition and teenage recklessness, Sugar’s wild plan hinges on proving she’s the perfect fit for a crime-solving series, even if the method is anything but legal.
Sugar Jones gets an unexpected break when her story idea for the sci-fi series *Future 2000* is accepted—only to be handed to a professional writer. To keep her involved, she’s offered a role in an episode centered around a futuristic beauty contest, much to the amusement of her friend Susie Ford.
In a quiet moment between memories and now, Sugar Jones finds herself caught between the past and a song that feels too familiar. Twenty years after a fleeting romance in Paris, an anonymous singer’s new hit seems to echo a secret only she might know—especially when the lyrics reference a girl named Susie, a name she hasn’t heard in decades.
Sugar Jones lands a role on "The Lifers," a drama about survivors after 'the scourge,' but her big break takes a turn when she and co-star Greg Stenson unexpectedly come down with the measles—right in the middle of filming. With the show’s schedule in chaos and nerves fraying, even Susie Ford’s usual calm can’t keep things from spiraling.
Sugar Jones fakes a boat breakdown to hitch a ride with Aros Starkos, the richest man in the world, hoping a little charm will lead to a proposal—only to find her dream of becoming Mrs. Starkos comes with a surprisingly hefty price tag. Meanwhile, Susie Ford watches the whole scheme unfold with a mix of amusement and quiet concern.
After watching "Carley's Cherubs," Sugar Jones gets a wild idea: she wants to launch her own show, "Sugar's Sweeties," featuring three handsome policemen who quit their jobs to work for her. With Susie Ford’s help—and perhaps a little more chaos than planned—the dream starts to take shape, one absurd pitch at a time.
