In "Plesiosaur," Little Archie takes Betty on a detour through Spook Woods and the Hockomock Swamp, hoping her fear will send her home—only to find himself in a situation far stranger than he expected. Meanwhile, Betty’s three stuffed dolls—each with their own distinct personality—watch her actions with growing concern, whispering secrets only they seem to understand. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks and letters by the same, this 1961 classic features a cover by Bob Bolling that captures the eerie charm of the tale.
