Scrooge,

 

That's a nice copy of #1. (thumbs u

 

#14

 

 

I've always liked the painted covers but haven't read any yet. Are they good reads?

If yes, I'll move them up higher on my looooong list of comics to buy/read.

 

Hmm, it might be best to show a sample or two.

 

I recall the story from #1 as being very good.

 

Splash page from #1.

 

 

These book features all comics, with no ads, right through to the back cover.

The internet...possibly the greatest advance in human communication...perfect for sharing pictures of Lassie comics...

Any Lassie fans out there?

 

 

They are dogs.

I haven't seen that Red Heart Lassie before. I had to look it up in Overstreet to see that it was Lassie's first app. in a comic.

It's actually quite famous (to me) since Vaughn ('Trooper) bought a copy while surfing eBay drunk a couple of months ago

# 4, 5 and 6.

 

I have to keep on checking but at least to issue # 6, the issues of Lassie do not provide episodic stories à la Lone Ranger where he appears and moves on and has no history / background. The stories in the first 6 issues of Lassie are one long graphic novel following Lassie on her adventures with Rocky and Gerry across the Caribbean all the way down to Brazil. That is, issue 4 starts with the crew with the newly found pirates treasure on board their boat, treasure that they spent the entire 52 pages of issue 3 acquiring and so on and so forth. It's a rare book at that time period that did that. So you do not get 2 stories per issue and you do the standard Dell of the time but one continuous tapestry of Lassie adventures. I do not recall at which issue this stops but I'll let you know once I scan it :thumbsup:

 

My run starts to look better at issue 6 as you will notice below.

Scrooge,

 

Going back to #2, That's a "classic cover". I had not seen that one before.

 

A scan of my #1. If they hadn't had the extra sturdy covers back then, I'm pretty sure this book would have been coverless instead of heavily creased and banged up.

Glad you liked it. One of my favorites in the run is # 8, of which I could use an upgrade

 

# 7, 8 & 9 -

The kids in the series grow with the series. Hardly in their mid-teens when they first meet in the early issues, Rocky and Gerry shared their first kiss in circa issue # 3 or 4 and they get married in issue # 12 below, as young adults after Rocky comes back from college I believe (my scanning is outpacing my reading) -

 

# 10, 11 and 12 -

Not Lassie, but 'dogs in space'...

Picked these up last week from Greg Reece, now all I need is issue #76 to complete my trilogy:

Those are really fun and generally over-looked Caps!

Sure. I'll scan a few more tonight. Meanwhile, here's a Horsey book - Champion 16 -

I only have one "Horse" book. It would be about G/VG, but for the chew.
