Walt Kelly Collection. Recap Page 10. 10/15 Percent Off!

190 posts in this topic

Over the next several days, I'll list a large Walt Kelly collection. The owner of the books bought most of them in the 1970s. The collection includes the full run of Animal Comics (1-30), several dozen Raggedy Ann + Andy, a large group of Our Gangs, and assorted Looney Tunes, New Funnies and Four Colors.

The basic rules apply.

:takeit:in the thread trumps all.

PayPal or personal check. $10 for U.S. shipping, priority insured, for up to four books, $5 if you want the comics to arrive via Pony Express.  Postage for larger groups of books will be calculated along those lines.

Most of the comics are in the Good-VG range. Page quality is surprisingly good. Whenever possible, I'll show examples of the interior art. I've tried to make note of interior page tears and folds, penciled puzzles and other such "flaws," but I can't guarantee I caught them all. Once upon a time, the comics were read by children. They are graded accordingly.

No, none of the books are slabbed. Kelly's work doesn't belong inside plastic. As always, I take returns if you're not happy with the comics.

Invoices won't go out until early next week, when I return from the Baltimore con. I'll ship as quickly as possible thereafter. PM me with any questions.

Two more Looney Tunes in the batch.

Looney Tunes Merrie Melodies 15

Good+. Spine roll. Christmas cover. Significant wear at the right edge of said cover, and small tears at the spine. The occasional fold or pencil mark on the OW pages. Apologies, but the connect-the-dot puzzle at the centerfold is already complete.

$60

Animal Comics 22 Sold to AJD

Let's go with Fair/Incomplete. I count 44 pages, so it appears we're missing the centerfold of the Rover story.

$5 ... tho' I'll throw this in if someone claims it with the purchase of any other book in the run.
