Yogi Bear trades Jellystone Park for military duty in this delightful 1961 Dell one-shot, with cover art by Harvey Eisenberg capturing the smarter-than-average bear in full Marine gear — helmet, rifle with bayonet, and a basket of honey tucked under one arm — while a swarm of very agitated bees gives chase. Eisenberg's clean, expressive linework brings out every ounce of Yogi's characteristic mix of bravado and mischief, making it clear that even in the Marines, old habits die hard. A fun slice of early-'60s Hanna-Barbera comics charm.
