About the series

The Gwinnett Daily News Comic Book (1979–1982) was a 156-issue newspaper giveaway from the Gwinnett Daily News, offering a full-color comic supplement to subscribers. This short-lived regional title featured a mix of syndicated newspaper strips and original material, serving as a unique local promotional vehicle during the late Silver Age/early Bronze Age. While no single creator is most associated with the series, its run provides a fascinating snapshot of how newspapers experimented with comics as a reader incentive before the direct market boom. Its significance lies in documenting a forgotten corner of comics history—a community-focused, mass-distributed comic that bridged the gap between newsprint and the emerging specialty shop era.
