I've finally managed to get one each of the early books. I think there's just these three and I think each exists in two languages. If correct, that'd put me half-way.

They are all rather thin, and made with cheap paper. They have a simple story and some activity pages. Voyager/Valiant is not mentioned.

Not surprised you recognize how hard it was. Long patient searching, just like how you find your books.

Of these books, I guess most have been thrown away for some strange reason...

Walt Wang on ebay has been selling the KFC book for quite some time. Seems like he has a truckload of it. However, I never seen the other two before. Where did you manage to find them?

Yeah, the KFC is from Walt. And the two others are also from eBay. The only ones I've seen despite several years of searching.

With the art for Cheesasaurus Rex (thanks Ron) there was some material indicating that it exists in Spanish as well. And I've heard that the KFC exists in English.

You have the ART for "Cheesasaurus Rex''?? No way!!!

I guess I have two new things to add to my search list. How emabarassing is it to have a eBay search for Cheesasaurus???

Any luck tracking down other editions/languages?

Mile High has a stock photo of the KFC comic in English:

Never actually seen one for sale in English, the Spanish versions are the only ones I've ran across.

I would love to get a T-Shirt with that image on the front.

Is it wrong that I want to read these?

Awesome finds!

I think I have an English one. I'll try to remember to check tonight.

If I do have this... I can scan it really large and you can get someone to make you a shirt.

The problem is that it's a cartoon mentioning Kenny and KFC.
People will assume it's a South Park reference.

this reminded me of something...i worked at KFC for two years in high school. one year for halloween, i bought a parody t-shirt from a head shop that said "KFR - kentuky fried rat" and had an image of a KFC bucket with a fried rat sticking out of it. since we were allowed to wear costumes for halloween, i wore it to work. the manager didn't appreciate it, but despite what you might think, the customers loved it.

I wondered if the KFC comic ever had a sequel. The first story ended on a cliffhanger note.

Cheese Rex had 2 issues so maybe KFC had another?

Unfortunately, my copy of Kenny Kid and Hip Hop is also Spanish.

I'll take the highest-res scan you can manage, Doc.

Even if it's Spanish?

Especially if it's Spanish.
