Conchy is a comic strip about beachcombers on a faraway island written by James Childress between 1970 and 1977. Sadly the author took his own life in 1977 and the comic strip was dropped. Up until recently, I believed there to be only three books (two published by Tempo Books and one published by Aladdin Web Offset Inc in 1972). I have since acquired a fourth 24-page book published by James Childress himself, largely to promote the comic strip for syndication - I imagine this book is very rare. Included below is the intro page from this book showing a picture of James and his covering note to prosepective syndicators. If anyone has any further information, images or books please email me.
