Our first Carol Day book, Lance Hallam, was nominated for a 2024 Eisner award in the category of Best Archival Collection/Project - Strips! Thank you to those of you who voted for us!
Welcome to the Carol Day website! If you're not familiar with it, Carol Day, by David Wright, is a wonderful comic strip by a great artist. From 1956-1967, the Wright years, Carol Day transcends even the best American strips of its time, with its combination of sophisticated themes and stories, multi-dimensional characters and always magnificent art.
Over the last couple of years, we have focused on our Carol Day publishing efforts, and we’re very pleased that Lance Hallam is now shipping, Jack Slingsby has just arrived at the distributor for shipping to those who made pre-orders, and Charles Logan and Paris Episode are available on Amazon as ebooks.
We haven’t decided what’s next, and while we plan our next project, we will be out and about among collectors—first at OAX-con in Orlando in January with a variety of David Wright art for display and for sale. And we have just been confirmed for a table in the small press area for 2024 San Diego Comicon. So get to one of the coasts in January or July and drop by to say hello!
If you’d like to help us, we need high resolution scans for a number of strips in order to publish some of the best and most in-demand stories, such as Problem Child. We appreciate any lead in tracking the images down, no matter how obscure, and your fellow collectors will be forever in your debt if you can help us get some of these stories in print.
Please click the Project Dashboard tab and go to the Help section for the specific episode numbers we need and our requirements for scans.
The estate of David Wright is the current copyright holder of Carol Day, and it has graciously allowed us to reproduce this material here. Please respect this generosity and do not pirate this material.
