I contacted Dean Mullaney about the Ben Casey strip that he'd mentioned they would publish several years ago to find out it's status and got the reply below. Shades of the Pogo delay. For information sake the daily strip ran from November 26 1962 to July 30 1966. and the Sunday from Sept 20 1964 to July 31 1966We're still in the gathering strips phase for Ben Casey. Believe it or not, Neal still has 40% of the original art for the dailies (!!). While I've scanned the entire run of dailies from clipped strips, we're holding out for better source material. I just located syndicate proofs for all the dailies we're missing from the first year. The bottom line is that we–and Neal most of all—want to present the finest quality possible. So, the search continues. I'm confident that we'll find the strips, and will make an announcement on the website when we do.Best, Dean Mullaney

Just last night I was flipping through the issue of NEMO magazine (a magazine that Fantagraphics published in the 80's devoted to comics strips) that showcased ALLEY OOP Sundays. I've been a huge fan of V.T. Hamlin since Kitchen Sink published the 3 volumes (with a 4th published by Rick Norwood) of Hamlins dailys. He's an amazing artist and such a wonderful storyteller, especially the time travel stories. Anyway, the early Sundays are brilliant and have only been published in color sporadically. I would love for IDW to publish ALLEY OOP, preferably in the L'il Abner format to include the Sundays and Dailys. (There is another publisher that puts out ALLEY OOP books, SPEC, I use to own quite a few, but they are way to expensive with very few strips...and dailys only).
