"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.
