This website is devoted to the Carol Day newspaper comic strip, which ran from 1956-1967, and its creator, David Wright.

Carol Day is a wonderful comic strip by a great artist. With its combination of sophisticated themes and stories, multi-dimensional characters and always magnificent art, Carol Day transcends even the best American strips of the time, but it has been woefully neglected. Though it was syndicated in around 70 papers around the world, this high-spot of the newspaper comic strip has never been collected, and it never appeared in the US. According to Patrick Wright, David's son, "even though the Hearst Newspaper did attempt to head-hunt my father in the early 1950s, it was felt Carol Day was too sophisticated for the American market!"

This website makes the art, stories and background material of this neglected strip and its creator readily available for the first time. We hope you enjoy it. Please don't hesitate to send us comments, criticisms, suggestions or any material you think should be incorporated into the site.

We have added the last stories for which we have source material, and our regularly scheduled updates are now at an end. However, we will continue to add more Carol Day and David Wright material as we uncover it. If you would like to be notified when updates to the site occur, send us an email and we will add you to the update list.

Patrick Wright, son of David Wright, is the current copyright holder of Carol Day, and he has graciously allowed us to reproduce this material here. Please respect his generosity and do not pirate this material.
