Lady Bountiful

In the single issue of Lady Bountiful (1917), Saalfield Publishing Company introduced a character whose name promised generosity, though the series itself concluded almost as soon as it began. While the title suggests a potential for long-running adventure or moral lessons, this early 20th-century comic remains a brief, standalone glimpse into the era's fledgling comic book industry. Its significance lies less in its narrative impact and more in its place as an obscure, nearly forgotten artifact from the dawn of American comics.
