OtherEric Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 So, here's one of the 3 Animal Comics without Kelly art- and one of the nicest GA books I own: Mmmmmm. Love me some Walt Kelly too though! OK, we've clearly decided we're all going to go ahead and post Kelly books here despite having the other thread. I'm good with that, as I'm a crazy huge Kelly fan. So, what order would the other Kelly fans prioritize the first issues Kelly did for Dell? (Skipping the Four Color issues for this thread, of course.) I'm also not even counting the Pogo Parade Giant, since that's all reprints. Raggedy Ann and Andy is easily the low book on the list, for me. Still nice. And it gets trickier fast. Our Gang would be next. I know, I really need to upgrade even by my standards, but I got a lot of 1-5 for $40, and it will do until the right copy of OG 1 shows.

OtherEric Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The first issue of Pogo's own title comes next. (I would rank the Albert & Pogo Four Color higher, but this is the wrong thread for it:) The amazing, all-Kelly Fairy Tale Parade is next to the top of the list: But the top spot has to go to Pogo Possum's first appearance anywhere: Are there any other Kelly first issues for Dell (not counting Four Colors or just covers) I'm missing on the list? Adventures of Peter Wheat wouldn't count, since it was produced for Western but not actually for Dell. And anybody want to argue the order?

AJD Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Here's an interesting Dell fact I didn't know - apparently they had copies of foreign comics produced under licence sent to Racine for filing. This eBay seller has some of them listed now. And here's another NFC Dell. I can't recall buying it, so I must have got it in a lot with something else. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Monty, so does your copy not have any #s or price on it because it came from the book & record combo? I assume that newsstand copies would have had the number in the yellow rectangle at top left and a price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) OK, we've clearly decided we're all going to go ahead and post Kelly books here despite having the other thread. Nonetheless I'm still going to refrain from posting any Disney/Duck or Looney Tunes comics in this thread because they have threads of their own. I just have the one Walt Kelly Pogo comic anyway. I see the last post in the Walt Kelly thread was on 22 May 2016: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9361755&fpart=1 Edited September 28, 2016 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 So where's the general Looney Tunes thread? Hopefully this one isn't it because it's not very well titled: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9572701&fpart=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Awesome colors on that copy Do you know why Dell books are superior? 0% Miserability Their estimate for Number of Words from your typical woman should be at least one hundred fold higher.

Montezuma Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I've got both the record and the news stand, the record copy doesn't have the price on it, but the newsstand does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The Our Gang with Tom & Jerry title was after a few years shortened to just Tom & Jerry. Here are scans of some from my collection: 87 100 103 143 149 163 182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
