Beetle Bailey and His Friends - '65th Anniversary Complete Collector's Edition' DVD Gift Set

For 65 years, the laziest private in the Army has won the daily attention of millions of faithful comic strip readers - and kept them in stitches. Beetle Bailey, the Private who'd rather drop and nap than drop and "do 20," is the wise-cracking joker of the most famous Army camp - Camp Swampy, where befuddled General Halftrack still hasn't heard from the Pentagon, grumbling Sgt. Snorkel has never had a date, Beetle hasn't washed his socks, and Cookie still makes those high-bouncing meatballs.

This deluxe Collector's edition set includes all 50 cartoons first broadcast in 1963, plus a 30-minute TV special created in 1989. The bonus print materials included shine a light on the Creator/Illustrator, Mort Walker, his development of the character, and the many different appearances Beetle Bailey and his crew have made in daily newspapers, comic books, advertisements and illustrations for the past 65 years. Join Beetle Bailey and his army buddies and sound off with laughter.
In 2007, BCI Eclipse released "The Complete Collection" on DVD, but that item has been out of print since the studio closed its doors. Now RLJ Entertainment-owned Madacy is bringing out the cartoons based on Mort Walker's timeless comics with the June 2nd release of Beetle Bailey and His Friends - 65th Anniversary Complete Collector's Edition.

Priced at $39.98 SRP, this collectible item isn't just a DVD release: it's a treasure chest full of classic Beetle Baily material - including print material - that any comic aficionado would drool over. Here's a list of the Special Features about this title:
30-minute Special Feature
Bonus podcasts featuring Mort Walker
Embossed O-card over Hinged Box
Collector's memorabilia including original comic strips, feature illustrations, photos and more!
Book detailing the history of Beetle Bailey and his creator, Mort Walker.
