Item Description
Lot of 10, typically 3x4.25”. “Wally” is based on Wallis Simpson, the fiancée of England’s King Edward VIII who abdicated the throne in 1936 in favor of marriage. These titles are all the "Wally" 8-Pagers that we have seen. Titles include “Wally And The Sultan, Wally And The Duke, Wally And The Judge, Wally And The French Ambassador, Wally In The Bath, Wally And The Kings Guard, Wally And Her Pet Dog, Wally And The Page Boy, Wally And The King, Wally And The Reason She Got A Divorce.” All deal with Simpson in various sexual escapades with notable English personalities, including royalty of the time. All are c. 1936, the year Edward abdicated. Varying degrees of handling wear, most are Fine-VF. A number of scarce titles and rare as a potential set.
