Theagenes Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Great to see you posting books again, CM! Feel free to post some more gems which haven't seen the light of day on the boards!! Well, this one isn't a comic, per se, but I'm really happy with it: OMG! The grail of grails! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'll post this follow-up, both books from '52: Toth! Welcome to GA, Bill! Great way to start with early Captain Comets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 ROWR-BAZZLE! What a great cover! Look at how many characters Kelly designed for just one cover. You can still see echoes of Disney's Fantasia, Dumbo and Pinocchio in them. Does the label say Uncle Willie (tee-hee) instead of Uncle Wiggily? "Lulu Wibble-Wobble"? HAW! I'd love to see the whole series get reprinted so that the unwashed masses (me for example) could see all this early Kelly work. Maybe if Our Gang is successful enough.

BangZoom Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just in from the last Heritage auction... Beautiful comic, Richard. I love the cover. I believe #1 also had a wraparound cover. Were there any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 This one is new to me. I love all the sci-fi and superhero books circa 1939-1940, and I had never even seen this title before last year. Great comic. Rocket must have been a very common names for boys in the 1940's. Rocket Kelly Rocket Rooney Rocket Riley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
