☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Monster of the Marshes" is a gripping tale from Lassie #62 (1963), where Paul joins a desperate hunt to rid Chief Lumbowo’s village of a deadly crocodile terrorizing Lake Chad. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Jerry Robinson—both pencils and inks—this adventure unfolds as a group of hunters face peril on a storm-lashed island, with Lassie once again proving her courage and loyalty. The cover by Jerry Robinson captures the tension of the moment, making this a standout issue in the series.
In "Monster of the Marshes," Paul joins a desperate hunt for a man-killing crocodile terrorizing Lake Chad, hoping success will earn the villagers' trust in his farming plans. Stranded on an island after the crocodile destroys their canoe, the hunters are rescued at dawn—only to face a storm that capsizes their canoes and tests their courage again. Lassie, Timmy, Ruth, and the villagers rally to save them, but the danger isn’t over.
In "The Head-Hunters," Po Yin, Kyan Zit, and U Po Net are captured by a band of marauding headhunters who plan to use them as bait during a raid on a nearby village. With quick thinking and courage, Po Yin manages to send a warning to the farmers, while Kyan Zit finds a chance to turn the tide. As the villagers come to their aid, the headhunters flee into the jungle, leaving behind a tale of bravery and quick thinking.
In "The Raft," Lassie joins Timmy and Ted Welland on a journey through the wilds near Benin City, where towering mahogany logs are rafted downriver to market. When a hippopotamus destroys their dugout, the boys are stranded on a floating raft—only to face danger under cover of night as thieves led by a stilt dancer attack. With Lassie’s sharp instincts and courage, the team must survive the storm and the jungle’s shadows before help arrives.
