| oookaayyy...a cover that just pleads for a trademark-infringement lawsuit...and a book with contents that have nothing to do with that cover. Did Spunky #1 come out and elicit a call from Paramount Pictures? And they filled the book with generic Al Fago strips? Or did they simply not care what the contents were? I'd really like to know the story behind this, but's entirely possible that no one still alive knows it... |

| Pg.4 & 5 are indeed missing, BUT I do have B & W reprint of the whole story from a book collecting FRISKY FABLES. In the complete story, Spunky is tied up and left in a cave by the kidnappers. Fearing that once they find out he's NOT the prince, they'd come back and KILL him, Spunky uses his tail to untie the ropes. (sort of like an X-Man, but hardly worth prof.X's attention). He then ,not having learned his lesson, goes about pretending to be the prince again. He winds up in a sideshow, and runs lest he's recognized by somebody he sees.
Spunky sometimes breaks the law... |
