Owner's Description

An unnamed prototype Bugs Bunny first appeared in the cartoon short Porky's Hare Hunt, released on April 30, 1938, however it was not until July 27, 1940 with the release of A Wild Hare would Bugs appear as we know him today. His carreer includes an amazing 163 Warner Brothers cartoon shorts in the golden age of american animation.<br /><br />His apperances in comic books are even more numerious than his fil apperances. Starting in comic books with Looney Tunes #1 (Sept, 1941), he has gone on to appear in countless other comics including over 400 issues of Looney Tunes (and Merry Melodies) as well as over 300 isses of Bugs Bunny comics, mostly from Dell, Gold Key, Whitman, or DC.<br /><br />The Bugs Bunny Kite Fun Book is dated 1959, and was prepared in late 1958 for release to schools in the spring of 1959. A newspaper articel on its release has been found in the 2/7/1959 edition of the Fresno Bee. Don Christensen and Kellog Adams are noted as associated with the production of this book.<br /><br />Two variants of this book have been identified. They are Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas and Electric. <br /><br />This UGLY CGC 2.5 (Good plus) copy with cream to off-white pages and marker on the cover is the only graded copy from Southern California Edison as of 6/24/2010. As with most of the comics in this collection, I personally sent this comic in to be graded knowing it would receive a low grade. As to the why, it simply because it is the only copy I have been able to locate in over 10 years looking.<br /><br /><br />
