Back in the Golden Age of American comic strips, not all strips got the exposure
they deserved. Small syndicates like Bell Features distributed their output
mostly to smaller newspapers. As a result, some nice strips were seldom seen
and are almost unknown today. One of these lost treasures is Connie, the forgotten masterwork of illustrator Frank Godwin.
Godwin's Connie, produced in the 1930s for the Ledger Syndicate, was groundbreaking in many
ways. Its heroine, Connie Kurridge, was a woman of action who roamed the the
earth and explored space. Godwin's magnificent art drew from the pulp magazine
s-f design of the day, creating futuristic machinery and fantastic creatures
with equal ease.
Pacific Comics Club proudly presents some of Connie's adventures to new
generations. Surprisingly readable, great to look at, Connie deserves a place
in every newspaper strip fan's collection.
