About the series
Walt Kelly’s Pogo Possum, published by Dell from 1949 to 1954, brought the beloved denizens of the Okefenokee Swamp to comic-book form across 16 issues. Kelly wrote and drew every page, expanding the gentle, satirical humor of his newspaper strip into longer, richly illustrated adventures. This series stands as a key early showcase for Kelly’s singular blend of whimsical animal characters and pointed political commentary, cementing his place as one of the medium’s most distinctive voices.
