52 Sundays and 312 dailies in black and white. An entire year of strips.
This Fantagraphics series is the only reprinting to include the Little Orphan Annie Sundays (Arf!, Cupples and Leon, Dover, and IDW only reprint dailies).
From the introduction:
"In this volume, reprinting the entire year of 1932, we find what is probably the last fine-tuning Harold Gray ever did with his characters’ personalities and the premises of the strip.
"Annie became no less a mythic figure than Warbucks, but radically different from that which was originally assigned her by Gray and the publisher Captain Patterson.
"In the beginning she was vulnerable on three counts: she was a girl, she was young, and she was an orphan. By 1932 these traits were not only softening, but they were becoming irrelevant.”
