This collected volume chronicles the complete first year of the strip's run — 1929 to 1930 — presenting Connie in all her early glory: witty, daring, and thoroughly modern against a backdrop of high adventure and Art Deco elegance that defined the golden age of American newspaper comics.\n\nGodwin's draughtsmanship was among the finest of his era, and this anthology showcases his masterful linework and cinematic storytelling with every panel, illustrating why Connie is celebrated as one of the pioneering adventure strips in comic strip history. With an introduction by noted comics historian Maurice Horn providing essential context, this volume is an indispensable record of a trailblazing heroine and the artist who brought her to life — leaving the reader to wonder just how many more adventures awaited beyond those remarkable first pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203115426011,"sku":"2026200015362-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8491cd6b-c0a3-46c7-938c-640114ce4a76.png?v=1788144248","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015362-secondhand-connie-1929-1930","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
