Annie might feel as if she's between hammer and anvil,but those are about the only menaces she avoids during the early 1950s! In lessthan two years of stories, the little orphan gets run over by a car, shot with apistol, whacked with a bludgeon, firebombed in her bed, shoved in a gunny sack,caught in a tornado, flung overboard in a raging storm, and thrown alive into anunderground cemetery vault. Meanwhile, "Daddy" Warbucks, Punjab, and the Asp area thousand miles away, with no clue to the whereabouts of America's spunkiestkid. "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" reprints all daily andcolor Sunday strips from October 29, 1951 through July 5, 1953. Included arefive stories replete with greed and murder, atomic boats, blackmailers,poisoners, and deadly mutineersyet also filled with good Samaritans andfriendship from the most unexpected quarter, while also posing the question: canromance survive in a town called Futility?
