THE GOETHE AWARDS
After the discontinuation of The Alley Awards in 1970, Don and Maggie Thompson helped launched The Goethe Awards to take its place in Philadelphia. It was named for Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, an 18th century writer and arguably the first proponent of the comic strip medium. The Goethe Awards were held from 1971 to 1976.
