Sadly, the only Kelly issue is 26; the others are by Del Connell and Al Hubbard.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312768583084063120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-34661089945189527262009-05-23T04:13:54.883-07:002009-05-23T04:13:54.883-07:00Al Hubbard never drew write any of his comics, but...Al Hubbard never drew write any of his comics, but as you can see was a good draftsman (which makes sense, as that is what he started his career as - an airplane daftsman).<br />hubbard was west coast - and worked at the Sangor Shop doing comic books, moving on to Western. <br /> I only have a half dozen or so Hubbard Peter Wheats, given to me by a friend from his duplicates - he's not online. I dont think he's ever finished his collection of Kelly Peter Wheates, but he certainly has most of them.Steven Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04327077321150342133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-26204430227894541842009-05-23T01:31:17.651-07:002009-05-23T01:31:17.651-07:00Thanks for naming the :guy".

(The scans of both this issue and the 19 you posted earlier are mine; I'm very happy to see them getting more exposure.) I'm still looking for more issues, though; I'll let you know if I find any. Everything I've seen suggests Kelly wrote most of his issues; it's possible Del Connell (who wrote the Hubbard issues) wrote or co-wrote some of the last year of Kelly drawn stories. And yes, jhegenbe, Al Hubbard drew Mary Jane and Sniffles for many years; it's one of my all-time favorite series. Hubbard is horribly underrated, in my opinion; he's not in Kelly's league, but who is?Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312768583084063120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-63173696610810807142009-05-23T00:02:12.430-07:002009-05-23T00:02:12.430-07:00Thanks for the information, Eric.

If you have any issues you would like to share, I would love to trade scans or other stuff (like some rare European Pogo-related items I should post one of these days). I wonder if there ever was an issue of the Pogo fanclub magazine about this series. I have #1 to #26, but all my efforts to reach Steve Thompson about getting #27 to #100 have failed. he just never answers his mail, even though it's still mentioned on the Pogo website.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-58189993153096071882009-05-22T20:47:59.463-07:002009-05-22T20:47:59.463-07:00The latter examples are not Kelly, but the guy wha...The latter examples are not Kelly, but the guy what did Mary Jane and Sniffles in Looney Tunes (I think).jhegenbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082204163626888629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-45621454561953058672009-05-22T15:48:14.635-07:002009-05-22T15:48:14.635-07:00There are actually two different titles, Adventure...There are actually two different titles, Adventures of Peter Wheat and Peter Wheat News. The first was 16 pages, already glued together and complete. Peter Wheat News, where the Al Hubbard story you have at the end comes from, was a four-page advertising flyer where the last two pages could fold into a four-page mini-issue of Adventures. The stories from Peter Wheat News were normally 3 part serials, for a total of 12 pages. The Adventure issues are hard to find; the Peter Wheat News issues are at least ten times as rare.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312768583084063120noreply@blogger.com
