Walt Kelly's Pogo, acknowledged as one of the most important and
influential comic strips of all time, first appeared not in newspapers, but as a
feature in the Dell comic book anthology Animal Comics, as well as in
Dell's Four Color Comics before receiving its own title, Pogo
Possum, in 1949. It was here, in the four-color world of comic books, that
the feature and its characters grew and matured, ultimately becoming one of the
world's most famous comic strips.
With Hermes Press' complete reprint of Dell Comics Pogo, admirers of
this groundbreaking comics feature can now witness the strip's evolution, in an
archival hardcover, digitally reconstructed to perfection.
This volume reprints the complete Albert the Alligator and Pogo
Possum from Four Color Comics #105 and #148, and issues #1-4 of
Pogo Possum.
