Post your Pogos / Walt Kelly Books!

5 5

That is a beutiful copy of a book that isn't seen too often!

 

Four Color 102 (Oswald the Rabbit) features one page of Kelly art, and I think this MIGHT be the page, but I'm not sure.

 

 

That looks like Kelly to me!

Just got this gem at my LCS today:

Does anybody know if the "Library Copy" indicates a file copy? It doesn't look like the stamp I've seen on most Dell File Copies, but most of the file copies I've seen are from a few years later than 1947, so it may have changed.

Busted Flush had a FC108 with the traditional stamp; so they were present earlier than this issue. This must be from some other library. Great book all the same!

This is the extremely rare 30 cent variant. The only other person that I know has one is Gary Colabuono. His is much higher grade. This to my knowledge is the very first 30 cent variant of any comic. This may be of interests to the 30 and 35 cent variant frenzy happening in the Bronze age.

It's a good day to post any Easter Books!!

In the meantime my most recent Kelly pickup from the boards. This book is drop dead beautiful with white white pages. Just like picking it up from the bookstore when it was new.

Early Graphic novel!!

Love the detail on the background.

Say, that looks kind of familiar. (Runs away laughing)

Yes and it's a beaut!!

Got another Kelly piece off the boards a few weeks back. Animal 25; an early Pogo. Thanks Strawman!

I got to read the interior of Animal 25 this morning and it was quite the fun book.

The Pogo story was OK and not Kelly’s best effort. I was really impressed with some of the other stories though; the Jigger story was actually quite fun and refreshing and I see it was by John Stanley which explains that. The R-over story by Dan Noonan was also really good and I was surprised it had a drug running theme as its story line which you can see in the interior illustration below.

Dell comics are Good Comics!

Anyone know what's wrong with R-over? Had to type with a dash to get past the auto edit below:

Never realized that this was a Walt Kelly cover.

Great stuff, fellows. Walt Kelly is boss!

It was a Kelly fest today at Terry's comic show in Yorba Linda. For some reason I always manage to score Pogos at this show. Today was no exception with a nice pile of Animal Comics waiting for me to take them home. Some great covers and back covers here.

those are solid!

Love me some Animal Comics, and those copies look great! One of these days I need to get a group shot of my complete run to show around here...

Posted this in the Promo comic thread a few days ago, didn't get any comments. Maybe somebody here has something to say:

Not one you see that often, I was quite happy to find a cheap copy.

Great books, Frank, you can never go wrong with Kelly!

Lots of things popping up here I'd like to own!

I've seen this one come up for sale a few times on eBay, but I always had other fish on the line. Your copy looks great - nice white pages. I think the book on Walt Kelly has a picture of this promotional piece. I'm sure we'd like to see some of the interior of yours!

Very pretty comics 40! Miles away from the gruesome horror, crime & GGA I go after. Kelly and Barks have always held a soft spot in my heart though. I have a pretty good stash of those as well. Love the baseball cover on the 16.
