In "Lassie and the Black Jaguar," Lassie returns to the Matto Grosso homestead expecting her friend Lalo, the caretaker—but instead encounters Pablo Mira and two thieftakers hunting Lalo for the murder of Mira’s partner, Tomas. With Matt Baker’s expressive art and Ray Osrin’s sharp inks bringing the tense frontier setting to life, this 1978 Western thriller sets a gripping stage for a mystery where loyalty and justice are tested. The cover by Morris Gollub captures the story’s dramatic tension with bold, atmospheric detail.
In "Lassie and the Jungle Courier," Lassie teams up with her friend Timbu to track down a missing mail canoe, hoping it holds proof that could help a group of displaced settlers reclaim their land from the ruthless Don Sodero. Set in the heart of the jungle, the journey tests their courage and cleverness as they navigate treacherous waters and hidden dangers.
When Lassie and her friends take a chartered flight from Peru to Quito, their journey takes a sudden turn when a volcanic eruption sends debris hurtling into the sky—forcing them to survive the crash and face the dangers of the wild, untamed mountains ahead.
In "Lassie and the Concrete Jungle," Lassie ventures beyond the hotel walls with Timbu for a curious tour of New York City, where towering buildings and bustling streets offer a world unlike anything she’s known. The story captures the wonder and quiet adventure of a dog discovering the rhythm of the urban landscape, one sidewalk at a time.
In "Down to the Sea," Lassie and her friends head to Maine for a visit with Rocky’s publisher, Mr. Carver, and his son Ricky. When Ricky takes Timbu and Lassie on a sailing trip in search of giant tuna, the adventure begins to unfold on the open water.
In "Marooned," Lassie and her friends set off on a summer voyage from Maine to Florida aboard Mr. Carver's power cruiser, navigating the Intercostal Waterway. Along for the ride is Mr. Ralph Jager, a staff illustrator who’s decidedly unimpressed by dogs, setting the stage for a journey where teamwork and unexpected bonds might just be the real destination.
In the heart of the Matto Grosso, Lassie and her companions return to the homestead expecting Lalo, the caretaker—but instead find Pablo Mira and two thieftakers hunting Lalo for the murder of Mira’s partner, Tomas. The jungle holds its breath as old ties fray and new suspicions take root.
When a harpy eagle snatches a young howler monkey from the jungle canopy, Lassie springs into action—chasing through the treetops and racing to outwit the predator, all while a group of mischievous monkeys have just stolen Rocky's camera.
Dr. Blithley, a botanist from the National Botanical Institute, arrives at the homestead seeking rare jungle specimens—only to be convinced to take Timbu and Lassie along on his expedition. As they venture deeper into the wild, the trio finds themselves immersed in the untamed beauty of the jungle, where every leaf and shadow holds a mystery.
In "Farewell to Rio," Lassie’s life takes an unexpected turn when a dangerous allergy to a rare Amazonian grass forces her to leave the jungle behind. With help from Rocky and Gerry, she begins a new chapter with friends in the American Midwest—where the heart of home might just be found in the quiet moments between adventure and belonging.
Lassie finds herself far from home, welcomed by the Miller family only to be stolen and trapped in a forest shack by two desperate men who have no intention of letting her go. With the help of a kind stranger and her own courage, she must find her way back to safety.
