For much of the first third of the 20th century Nell Brinkley was the Queen of Comics. Her beautiful gals and their plucky adventures were syndicated across the covers of many of America's most popular newspapers thanks to William Randolph Hurst. Her style would mesh perfectly with the emergence of the flapper in the late 1920s, and coy aviatrix Gloriette was a prime example of the Brinkley Girl archetype.
