Lassie #54

In "Rescue First," Lassie proves her worth beyond the farm when a sudden storm traps wealthy Flint Wheelock’s daughter in a rain-swollen sluice, prompting a dramatic rescue that shifts even the most skeptical townsfolk’s opinions. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Bob Fujitani, with lettering by Ben Oda, this 1961 Dell comic captures a heartfelt moment where courage and loyalty save the day. The cover by Bob Fujitani perfectly captures the tension and heroism of the scene.
