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.

In the next few months we will add the last stories for which we have source material. Unless we can uncover source material for the stories we are missing, better source for the stories we already have, or other new Carol Day and David Wright material, the main development of the site will come to an end. Please help us if you can.

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.
