Summary: Let $D_\mathrm o$ be a simply connected subdomain of the unit disk and $A$ be a compact subset of $D_\mathrm o$.
Let $\phi$ be a universal covering map for $D_\mathrm o\setminus A$. We prove that the composition operator
$C_\phi$ is compact on the Hardy space $H^p$ if and only if $\phi$ does not have an angular
derivative at any point of the unit circle. This result extends a theorem of M.M. Jones.
