Pennsylvania Profiles

Pennsylvania Profiles, a 15-issue series from The Red Rose Studio that ran from 1977 to 1991, is a lovingly crafted, one-man showcase by writer/artist Patrick M. Reynolds. Rather than following a single narrative, each issue offers a richly illustrated, fact-based exploration of the Keystone State's history, from its colonial origins to its industrial heyday. Reynolds’s meticulous pen-and-ink work and warm storytelling make this a unique, deeply personal chronicle of Pennsylvania's people, places, and events. It stands as a quiet landmark in regional comic book history, demonstrating the medium's power to preserve and celebrate local heritage.
