The Golden Collection of Klassic Krazy Kool Kids Komics #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2010 hardcover from IDW and Yoe Books gathers a selection of vintage comic strips and stories from the early-to-mid 20th century, spotlighting the wild, whimsical, and often surreal humor aimed at young readers. Featuring rare and reprinted material from classic newspaper and comic book sources, the volume showcases the offbeat creativity of lesser-known cartoonists alongside more familiar names, all curated for their nostalgic charm and historical significance in children's comics.
"Adventures of Tom Plump" delivers a delightfully absurd twist on the classic cartoon trope, featuring Wilbur Fox and a mysterious ghost bird that only appears when someone’s knocked out—literally. With Jack Bradbury handling both art and inks, the story unfolds with playful energy, anchored by a surreal premise where the bird’s very existence depends on Wilbur’s repeated unconsciousness. The cover, a collaborative effort by Larry Riley and John Liney, captures the zany spirit of the tale in vibrant, exaggerated style.
When Wilbur Fox knocks himself out, the mysterious Ghost Bird appears—only to discover that staying real means keeping Wilbur unconscious. Determined to stick around, the bird starts a new routine: repeatedly knocking Wilbur out so he can stay visible. With a mix of mischief and a surprisingly solid plan, Wilbur convinces the bird to try a boxing gym, where knockouts are practically guaranteed.
Barney Bear reluctantly joins Benny Burro on a camping trip in Yellowstone, trading the comforts of home for a night under the stars—until Barney’s tent ends up pitched right over a steam hole that suddenly erupts into a geyser.
Super Rabbit dives into a peculiar case when shoes begin vanishing from a store—only to reappear walking away on their own. With a nose for the bizarre, he follows the trail to uncover a flock of invisible guffs making off with the footwear, one mysterious step at a time.
