OUR GANG SC (2025)

"by Walt Kelly Walt Kelly, perhaps best known for Pogo, illustrated a fifty-nine issue run of comic book stories starring the irrepressible film urchins - the 'real-life' characters of MGM's durable short-film series, Our Gang (a.k.a. 'The Little Rascals'). Revel in the toothy splendor of Walt Kelly's brushwork. With an introduction by film historian Leonard Maltin!"

"by Walt Kelly The second collection of Walt Kelly's 59-issue run of Our Gang comic books, based on actual people - the 'real-life' characters of MGM's durable short-film series, Our Gang (a.k.a. 'The Little Rascals')."

"by Walt Kelly Walt Kelly's spirited and engaging Our Gang harkens back to the days before television, when kids spent most of their time playing outdoors, limited only by each other's imagination and ingenuity. Kelly created dozens of Our Gang stories by the end of its 59-issue run in 1949, the year he quit comics to create the immortal syndicated newspaper strip, Pogo. In Our Gang Volume 3, Kelly hits his stride in supplying eight adventures of the mainstay off-beat personas as well as other whimsical characters, from mad scientists to eccentric animals. Fantagraphics Books has lovingly restored the work from the original comic books, giving Kelly's art a new four-color splendor! With a cover by Jeff Smith!"

"Created in 1946 and 1947, these stories show Walt Kelly refining the style that would serve him so well for his later masterpiece - Pogo. Much of this fourth volume is taken up with an extended four-part cycle of stories -- almost a graphic novel, really! - in which Froggie and the Gang (including Julip the Goat) ship out with Professor Gravy on his showboat for an engagement downriver, which results in a series of action-packed adventures involving fisticuffs, gunfire, fireworks, and horse thieves!"
