  • Arf: The Life and Hard Times of Little Orphan Annie (1970): reprints approximately half the daily strips from 1935-1945. However, many of the storylines are edited and shortened, with gaps of several months between some strips.
  • Dover Publications reprinted two of the Cupples & Leon books and an original collection Little Orphan Annie in the Great Depression which contains all the daily strips from January to September, 1931.
  • Pacific Comics Club has reprinted eight of the Cupples & Leon books. They have also published a new series of reprints, with complete runs of daily strip, in the same format at the C&L books, covering some of the daily strips from 1925 to 29:
  1. The Sentence, 1925 strips
  2. The Dreamer, strips from January 22, 1926 to April 30, 1926
  3. Daddy, strips from September 6, 1926 to December 4, 1926.
  4. The Hobo, strips from December 6, 1926 to March 5, 1927.
  5. Rich Man, Poor Man, strips from March 7, 1927 to May 7, 1927.
  6. The Little Worker, strips from October 8, 1927 to December 21, 1927.
  7. The Business of Giving, strips from November 23, 1928 to March 2, 1929.
  8. This Surprising World, strips from March 4, 1929 to June 11, 1929.
  9. The Pro and the Con, strips from June 12, 1929 to September 19, 1929.
  10. The Man of Mystery, strips from September 20, 1929 to December 31, 1929.

Considering both Cupples & Leon and Pacific Comics Club, the biggest gap is in 1928.

  • All of the daily and Sunday strips from 1931-1935 were reprinted by Fantagraphics in the 1990s, in five volumes, each covering a year, from 1931 to 1935.
  • Picking up where Fantagraphics left off, Comics Revue magazine reprinted both daily and Sunday strips from 1936 to 1941, starting in Comics Revue #167 and ending in #288.
  • Pacific Comics Club reprinted approximately the first six months of the strips from Comics Revue, under the title Home at Last, December 29, 1935 to April 5, 1936.
  • Dragon Lady Press reprinted daily and Sunday strips from September 3, 1945 to February 9, 1946.
