{"product_id":"david-wrights-jo","title":"DAVID WRIGHT'S JO","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJo\u003c\/em\u003e is a typical adventure strip for the time with a very similar premise to \u003cem\u003eJudy\u003c\/em\u003e–a young, beautiful girl is thrust into danger with her partner, and their adventures take them to exotic locales in a series of loosely plotted melodramas. \u003cem\u003eJo\u003c\/em\u003e is somewhat distinguished from \u003cem\u003eJudy\u003c\/em\u003e in the quality of the art. While the early episodes of \u003cem\u003eJudy\u003c\/em\u003e are a warmup for creator \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Wright\u003c\/strong\u003e, in \u003cem\u003eJo\u003c\/em\u003e he has fully gotten his footing and the art shines from the first day.\n\nThe source material for this collection was original publisher tear-sheets, and while they are not the ideal source for reprinting strips (as the original art and proofs are unavailable, if they even exist any longer), but the publishers have adjusted contrast, lightness and black levels to provide as consistent and enjoyable an experience as possible.\n\nIf you are familiar with their previous volume, \u003cem\u003eDavid Wright's\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eJudy\u003c\/em\u003e, you will see that the reproduction is whiter and brighter than in \u003cem\u003eJudy\u003c\/em\u003e, mainly due to the difference in source material.\n\nThis is the complete run of \u003cem\u003eJo\u003c\/em\u003e, comprising episodes 1-87 (February 28, 1954 to December 11, 1955), compiled from the original tear-sheets, casebound with printed endpapers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59644013871390,"sku":"DAVJOH","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/DAVJOH.jpg?v=1784525844","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/david-wrights-jo","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
