Volume 1 - 1st printing. By Harold Gray. "Little Orphan Annie". Contains 86 of the original strips from 1926. Here is the one-and-only original Little Orphan Annie just as she appeared in The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers in 1925. In this complete series of strips Annie is at her resourceful best defending "daddy" Warbucks' financial empire against the nefarious doings of two memorable shemers – young, snobbish Selby Adelbert Piffleberry (dubbed 'S.A.P. by Annie) and the inimitably unsavory Count de Tour. Annie Sandy and "Daddy" Warbucks find themselves in plenty of tight spots in these 86 strips – but, naturally, good triumphs in the end. Softcover (Saddle-Stitched/Stapled), 58 pages, 6 1/2-in. x 10 1/2-in., B&W. Cover price $1.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Little Orphan Annie in Cosmic City!" By Harold Gray. In this early sequence from Annie's long-running adventures, the curly-haired orphan and her dog, Sandy, are looking for a new home while "Daddy' Warbucks is away for a year. Unfortunately, in Cosmic City, almost everyone is a tight-fisted, orphan-hating meanie, but poor, good-hearted Mr. and Mrs. Futile agree to shelter the homeless pair. When moneybags Phineas P. Pinchpenny decides to foreclose the mortgage on the Futile home, Annie begins to fight back. Needless to say, the good guys are triumphant, but – leapin' lizards – you know what that. Softcover (Saddle-Stitched/Stapled), 58 pages, 6 1/2-in. x 10 1/2-in., B&W. Cover price $1.95.
