A huge thank you to Yoc for his help putting together the collection; all I really contributed was the raw scans and the intro.

And, to follow up the Omnibus and related debut of the 25 and 27, here's Peter Wheat News #20 in all its glory.  Now if we can just find the pages for #21, we'll have what we need for our second omnibus!  (45 or 62 would also give us a second full story.)

I thought #21 was up on this site?

Never mind...Peter Wheat News and Adventures of Peter Wheat are different things.  Got it.   

[Yoc]

Yep!

And, continuing to locate issues of my favorite pet project surely but slowly...

Adventures of Peter Wheat #59 ready for download.  We're now cleanly at the 3/4 mark for Adventures, at least.  But we still need over 40 issues of News and at least 8 of the Bell Bakery mini-comics...

Thanks for your continuing work on this series Eric.

And, with the holidays over, let's try to hit some of my small backlog of non -Peter Wheat books.

First up:  Barnyard Comics 18.  For those of you who normally avoid Funny Animals, I call your attention to 9 pages of Frank Frazetta art in the issue; 3 text illos and a 6-page story.

Thanks Eric, always nice to see some Frank Frazetta art.

I've managed to get yet another issue of Peter Wheat News, #35 this time.  Which puts me at 11 of 66 complete issues, and 4 more where I have the comic pages only.

Not exactly fast progress, but I think it's starting to look like a lifelong project rather than a not even in my lifetime project; I suppose that's a step in the right direction!

[Yoc]

Congrats Eric.  Now if only the prices would hold steady or drop during the rest of the project.

So, I've been slow on scanning.  Not that much to scan, and just busy overall.

But, as you all know, I'm always able to make time when I have more Peter Wheat stories to share.

I'm always particularly excited when I have Peter Wheat News issues to share, since they're so rare.  In my several years of searching for the title, I had only found 15 issues to date, our other issues are mostly from photos posted to eBay.

Today I got a package of 12 issues, comic pages only.  10 of which we need for the site.  I'm quite happy, to say the least.

Posting the first few issues now, I should have 8 total issues up in the next day or so.  The last two will get posted once Yoc and I manage to put together the second Peter Wheat News omnibus, since we have the pages for a second complete story.  So enjoy some very rare Walt Kelly work, as well as some fun stuff from Del Connell and Al Hubbard.

Side note:  A couple of the issues have some crayon on them, mostly in the gutters.  If anybody wants a crack at cleaning them up, let me know and I can get you copies of the raw scans.

[Geo (RIP)]

Thanks Eric for your work on these. You made quite a find on these.

Yoc quickly offered to clean up the crayon and otherwise improve the edits on the Peter Wheat News issues I recently obtained.  The 10 and 11 are brand new offerings, the other 6 issues have all been substantially improved, I suggest upgrading all issues even if you already grabbed them. 

And coming soon:  Our 2nd Peter Wheat News Omnibus, featuring an incredibly rare 12 page Walt Kelly story, only 4 pages of which have been previously posted.  Look for it soon!

[Geo (RIP)]

Thanks for the update Eric, well stay tuned for them.
(Thanks goes out to Eric and Yoc for the windfall of Peter Wheat books we now have.)
