About the Book
For our third Carol Day Story Book we will publish Cousin Hugo, the 25th story, which ran in 1963-1964.
The story features Carol's cousin Hugo and returns us to Carol Day's beginnings, while reflecting a changing world. The plot revolves around some stolen cash Hugo hides in an African sculpture that he gives to their Uncle Marcus as a gift, and the story bears many strong similarities and echoes of the first story, Charles Logan, placing Hugo and con man Vernon Flowers at the center of the action once again.
Though at first reading, Cousin Hugo can appear to be a side-note to Carol's more usual romantic entanglements and modeling plots, in a fuller context it clearly shows the change in Wright's tone and attitude as the strip evolved and has an important place in the canon.
Cousin Hugo will be the same format as Riverside Racket and Last of the Line, our other story books. It will contain the complete story reproduced from the original art in its original size, continuing our founding principle. In addition, we provide a brief introduction.
The art pages will be just like our other books. Below are some example spreads and single strips.
