Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #72

Mystery Inc. lands squarely in country territory in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #72, and the cover — penciled by Walter Carzon and inked by Horacio Ottolini — captures the chaos perfectly: a snarling, overalls-clad monster lurches out of a barn doorway while Fred, Velma, Shaggy, Scooby, and Daphne scramble in every direction, with a speech bubble quipping "So that's what they mean by 'fleeing the country'!" The barn setting, bales of hay, and the story's title "What's Opry, Doc?" all set up a rip-roaring hoedown gone haywire. It's the kind of lighthearted, pun-loving fun that makes this series a perennial treat for fans of all ages.
