Just got this little Walt Kelly gem in the mail today:

Has anybody else ever seen any of these little Bell Bakery Peter Wheat issues? Even more than Peter Wheat News, these mini issues are just incredibly scarce.

 

Nope, never seen one. Lovely work, fantastic shape. Let's see what Boot has to say, too.

There was a Peter Wheat bakery in Joliet, IL back in the 1950s. I have many of the large size comics, but have never seen one of these smaller versions.

 

As far as I know, only Bell Bakeries did the mini-issues like that. But there are several different formats they did Peter Wheat comics in addition to the 1/3 height Bell Bakeries 8 pagers:

The Adventures of Peter Wheat, which was a relatively normal 16 page comic:

Peter Wheat News, which was a 4-page flyer where you could cut off the back page and fold it in half to make a 4 page digest sized mini comic:

And the Peter Wheat Fun Pac, which included a edited reprint of an issue of Adventures along the top:

The Adventures of Peter Wheat issues aren't common, but the other three formats are all downright rare in my opinion.

I think these are my only two. (Kite Fun books too I guess)

 

But anyway, The Forest Fire is one of my pride and joys. First appearance of Smokey in comics :cloud9:

 

The Bush pilot I love do to all the various float/Snow planes (Beavers, Otters, Piper Cubs, ect) I've been in through the years, of hunting and fishing. Met some great bush pilots. A resourceful, brave/gutsy loyal lot. I befriended and still touch base with with two gents....and some I never need to see again and just thankful I'm alive and walking.
