Painted cover art by Norman Saunders. Stories and art by Clem Weisbecker and others. A "Boys' Life"-style comic promoting hunting, fishing and other outdoors activities for 1950s boys. What makes it "a new kind of comic book" (as the cover says) is that the stories are interrupted periodically with tips on gun safety, proper fishing techniques, etc. Bob gets a puppy, Sahib, and trains him to be a hunting dog, teaching the reader about hunting dogs at the same time. On a fishing trip, Bob learns that non-native trout introduced to the ecosystem are devouring the local trout. Plus text articles and photos on camping hints, the walleye, and the opossum. And a Shazam dot-to-dot puzzle! Sahib's Sacrifice; Camping Hints; Cannibal Trout; The Walleye. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
