Pogo Possum

Few characters carry the charm of Pogo Possum, a Golden Age creation who first scampered onto the page in Mad #30 in 1956, brought to life by Rice and Bill Davis under the EC banner. With appearances spanning nearly two decades across Mad, Penthouse, and Pogo: Welcome to the Beginning, this lovable possum has left a surprisingly wide footprint for a catalog presence of just three issues — one of which carries the distinction of being a collector-recognized key. A delightful piece of comics history worth tracking down for any fan who appreciates the quirky, irreverent spirit that made EC an era-defining publisher.
