Walt Kelly – författare

This third instalment of the complete syndicated comic strips of Walt Kelly covers the period directly after his winning the National Cartoonist Society's prestigious Reuben Award for POGO. Here Kelly tackles Joseph McCarthy's anti-communist witchhunt head-on, caricaturing the Senator as insidious - and soon to be notorious - wildcat Simple J. Malarkey. Kelly's visual and literary wit permeates this volume which also features Kelly's much-loved characters Churchy La Femme, P.T. Bridgeport, and Pup Dog and Houn'dog.

For the first time since its original appearance in Sunday newspapers, Pogo is complete and in chronological order. With all 104 comic strips from 1959-1960, in Volume 6, Albert Alligator & Beauregard Bugleboy fend off a man-from-Mars, and Howland Owl investigates Communist espionage in the postal system. Then, it's election year Fremount the Bugboy's campaign slogan, 'Jes' Fine,' sparks political debates about who can and should be president - maybe even a woman! Edited by Mark Evanier and Eric Reynolds, with extra features by comic historians R.C. Harvey, Maggie Thompson, and Evanier.

Walt Kelly's newspaper comic strip Pogo was a platform for Kelly to express political satire and commentary via a wildly entertaining, motley group of swamp critters. He tackled many of the sociopolitical issues of his day: the Red Scare, civil rights, the environment, consumerism. But the strip is also a joyous, poignant, beautifully drawn, and occasionally profound work of 20th-century popular culture. It is such an all-time classic it is hard to believe that this series marks the first time that Pogo dailies and Sundays have been published in complete and in chronological order anywhere. Not only does each volume contain two full calendar years of restored black-and-white daily strips, it also includes all 104 Sundays from the same period. For the first time since their original appearance more than 50 years ago, the Sundays are in full, glorious colour! Edited by comics legend Mark Evanier and Fantagraphics Associate Publisher Eric Reynolds, each volume has a surprise foreword (Jake Tapper, Sergio Aragones, and Neil Gaiman have contributed).
