Item Description
Calling all WALT KELLY collectors! Here is the second of the just 3 issues of MOTHER GOOSE and NURSERY RHYME COMICS written and illustrated by the incomparable WALT KELLY! These 52-page retellings of popular nursery rhymes with a KELLY twist, were published by DELL in 1944 and 1945 as part of their FOUR COLOR series.With his wrap-around cover and colorful pages of charming and lively retellings of familiar fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and folk tales, the legendary WALT KELLY's art makes this a sought-after early pre-POGO collectible!
KELLY illustrates nursery rhymes like 'Little Miss Muffett' and 'The Owl and The Pussycat' (with its early prototype design for Howland Owl of POGO's cast) and many others that are either obscure . . . or made up by KELLY himself to fill out the pages! And check out that amazing back cover!!
This is a nice, well-read copy . . . but there are minor nicks and stress lines, moderate toning, and date stamps on the cover and the first page. The cover does not seem to be cut entirely squarely. A 5.0 VG/FN in our conservative estimate for a comic of this vintage!
Overstreet cites this grade at $45 . . but we feel more comfortable pricing it at $34 . . with our customary L•O•W shipping . . . and no additional shipping charges for multiple purchases!
