Don Rosa Classics Book Set: Pertwillaby Papers & Captain Kentucky

This is a set of both deluxe books, "The Complete Pertwillaby Papers" and "The Complete Captain Kentucky".

The Complete Pertwillaby Papers:

You might know Don Rosa from his Eisner Award winning work on Uncle $crooge and Donald Duck comics, but did you know he was quite famous among comic fans even before that? In 1971, Don started his very own strip, "The Pertwillaby Papers," in The Kentucky Kernel, the daily student's newspaper at the University of Kentucky where he later earned a civil engineering degree. It was subsequently continued in the famous Rocket's Blast Comicollector fanzine, and several plot elements of title character Lancelot Pertwillaby's adventures were later re-used in Don's Duck comics. Now, for the first time ever, relive all the completely uncut episodes of this zany series in a unique collector's edition that contains tons of bonus features like newspaper articles, interviews, ads, several additional comics from Don's youth and much more! Also included are introductions by Don himself, Pertwillaby co-creator Ron Weinberg and former Marvel and DC writer Roger Stern!

Louisville's new hero, Captain Kentucky, is born and subsequently tries to keep his hometown (and the entire nation) a safe place ... with more or less success. Join Lance in all 150 episodes of Don Rosa's classic superhero parody that originally appeared as a Saturday feature in the Louisville Times between 1979 and 1982. Dig into a huge amount of bonus features like additional comics, newspaper articles, ads and much more!
