🎉2 for $15🎉 Vintage “I Go Pogo” Comic Book

Original 1952 edition of I Go Pogo by Walt Kelly. 192 pages. Starting in 1948, Walt Kelly's newspaper-based comic strip Pogo lampooned sociopolitical issues from the Red Scare to the environmental movement. A gifted cartoonist who began his career at Walt Disney Studios, Kelly explored the virtues and follies of human nature with a lively cast of Okefenokee Swamp critters. This compilation features comics from the American election year of 1952, during which Pogo's neighbors encouraged the reluctant possum to run for president. Their rallying cry, "I Go Pogo," parodied Dwight D. Eisenhower's "I Like Ike" slogan and provided real-life fans with a write-in candidate. Kelly's sly humor and flair for creative language—replete with malapropisms and nonsense verse — retain their imaginative verve for comics and graphic novel enthusiasts of the twenty-first century. A great find for 50s vintage/nostalgia lovers or even for use in crafts or decor. In fair vintage condition, there is wear and tear to the cover and spine and some discolouration to the inner pages as pictured; however all pages are present and unmarked. Offers are welcome!
