This Fireside Book collection gathers the final Pogo newspaper strips by Walt Kelly, covering the series' conclusion in the 1970s. It includes the complete run of the last storylines, featuring the beloved Okefenokee Swamp characters like Pogo, Albert the Alligator, and Churchy LaFemme, as Kelly brought his celebrated comic strip to a close. The volume serves as a poignant farewell to one of the most literate and politically astute strips in American comics history.
Contains 73 stories
