About the series
A pioneering Australian comic book, Wags ran for 204 issues from 1936 to 1940 under Editors Press Service, offering a lively mix of adventure and humor strips. The series is best remembered for reprinting iconic American newspaper features, including Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy, Harold Gray’s Little Orphan Annie, and Burne Hogarth’s Tarzan, alongside original local material by artists like Curt Davis and writer Don Garden. As one of the country’s earliest sustained comic titles, Wags played a key role in introducing Australian readers to the narrative power of the medium.
