Owner's Description

Woody Woodpecker was created in 1940 by Walter Lantz Animation Studios and distributed by Universal Pictures. He has been called the most screwball animation character of the 1940s. His first appearance was in "Knock Knock" with Andy Panda, released November 25, 1940. His film career continued until about 1972.<br /> <br />Woody Woodpecker quickly found his way into comic books. His first appearance was as a bit player in Dell's "New Funnies" starting in 1942. By 1947, he was getting his own issues in Dell's Four Color series. By 1952, Dell had given him his own comic magazine.<br /><br />Woody Woodpecker also found his way to television in the fall of 1957. Coincidently, this Kite Fun Book, copyrighted 1956 was released in the spring of 1957. The Random House Achieve copy sold by Heritage several years ago is stamped "Received 1/11/1957." Del Connell and Kellog Adams are credited for work on this book.<br /><br />The Woody Woodpecker Kite Fun Book is known from three utilities and with a blank indicia box. This copy from Pacific Gas & Electric is graded by CGC as 5.0 (Very Good to Fine) with off-white to white pages. It is the highest graded copy from this utility as of this writing. (Another CGC 5.0 exist, also in my collection, but it has lower page quality) (As of 6/3/2010)<br /><br /><br />
