| Merely Margy (Oh! Margy!) by John Held Jr. (0920-) - 1st appearance 1927, 1st Sunday 1929 - Merely Margy was the Flapper strip creation of John Held Jr., one of the most distinctive artists of the 1920's. Margy as a character, reflected the sensibilities of the roaring 20's era. She would lounge, laugh and live a carefree existence while being hunted by endless witless suitors. This formula was repeated in gags on a daily and weekly basis. The real attraction of the strip was the art of Held. A body of work in magazines and in syndicated sunday inserts preceeded Margy, so Held's reputation with the public was already sealed. The artwork, which is distinctly cartoony with an economy of detail and exaggeration of facial expression, has caught the attention of readers and collectors for decades. There is no mistaking John Held's work in this strip or in his other strips and advertising work. The market for Margy is strong, collectors love the fulls which usually contained a 'Joe Prep' topper. The strip only lasted into the mid 1930's so supply is a little short. This drives prices to a moderate premium, both for dailies and sundays.(51) | ||||
