Great Comics Syndicated by The Daily News and Chicago Tribune

In 1972, Crown Publishers collected the classic newspaper strip The Gumps by Sidney Smith, a long-running syndicated sensation from the Chicago Tribune and The Daily News. This single-volume reprint gathers the work of the strip's original creator, whose soap-operatic storytelling and clean, expressive art defined the feature for decades. It offers a snapshot of early 20th-century newspaper comics at their most influential, preserving a key piece of syndicated strip history.
