Yes indeed this thread has been too quiet. I have not picked up a good Kelly read in some time! I need to remedy that.

I got this Australian reprint with a classic Kelly cover in last week.

That's an awesome book; can you imagine finding that under the Christmas tree with that great Barks tale leading off the book?! You would read the pages off of it! How big is an Australian jumbo book?

That's an interesting piece. Do you know the story behind it? Quite the trio of signatures there.

This thread has been too quiet. I have a pile of Kelly books I bought earlier this year I really haven't had a chance to look at them yet. When I do read them I'll post some fun photos. Here's a photo of the haul in the meantime.

I don’t have a lot of information, I was brought in to help a friend of my dad’s whose husband had just died, leaving a bunch of comics and art she wanted to liquidate.  I made an offer on the specific piece, separate from my help dealing with the collection, because I liked it… and she can use the money.  If we can authenticate the art on the wall I would say this is probably the least interesting piece to the average collector… but I’m a huge Kelly fan.

Cool!  What stories did Walt Kelly do in Our Gang Comics?

Got this about 2 weeks ago. I believe it's Walt's 4th Disney cover.

Covers and the Main Feature. There are some reprint books available. I like his work in Animal Comics a bit more but the Our Gang stories are quite good at times.

Though not by Kelly the Rover series in Animal Comics is quite good. Worth a reprint edition.
