Walt Kelly's spirited and engaging Our Gang harkens back to the days before television, when kids spent most of their time playing outdoors, limited only by each other's imagination and ingenuity. Kelly created dozens of Our Gang stories by the end of its 59-issue run in 1949, the year he quit comics to create the immortal syndicated newspaper strip, Pogo. In Our Gang Volume 3, Kelly hits his stride in supplying eight adventures of the mainstay off-beat personas as well as other whimsical characters, from mad scientists to eccentric animals. Fantagraphics Books has lovingly restored the work from the original comic books, giving Kelly's art a new four-color splendor!

Cover by Walt Kelly superfan Jeff Smith (Bone).
