Cover by Raeburn Van Buren. Stories and art by Raeburn Van Buren and Budd Sheppard. A one-shot featuring reprints of Raeburn Van Buren's classic comic strip Abbie n' Slats. City boy Slats, his small-town sweetheart Becky, and Becky's reprobate father "Bathless Groggins" have madcap adventures, with exceptionally nice art by Van Buren. Slats and Becky finally get married, after years of false starts and missed opportunities. But then Bathless tells them that the "preacher" who married them is actually con man "Bless You" Bailey. Slats is lost in the woods and presumed dead, but is saved from attacking wolves by man-hating cowgirl Kate and her sister Jennie. Slats helps Jennie find love, but then learns that Becky believes he is dead. Never a dull moment! Comic strip-style good-girl art by Van Buren. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
