About this Collection

This second volume in Hermes Press's comprehensive reprint series collects Walt Kelly's complete Pogo comic book stories from Dell Comics, featuring the beloved Okefenokee Swamp denizens in their satirical adventures. Spanning issues from the early 1950s, it includes the full run of Kelly's original comic book material, preserving the whimsical art and sharp political commentary that defined the series.

In "Near the wheat field at the edge of the wood...", Walt Kelly’s signature absurdity takes flight as Mose, masquerading as Pogo, spins a tale of golden treasure at the end of a rainbow—drawing in curious ears like Albert and Howland, who mistake rocket flares for a real arc. With Pogo and Churchy adding fireworks to the mix, the woods erupt in a riot of goblins and voodoo giants, all rendered in Kelly’s unmistakable, chaotic charm. The story, written, drawn, and inked by Kelly himself, features cover art by Kelly, capturing the same wild spirit in full color.
