Mark Trail #1

Mark Trail #1 The issue contains at least one complete story, "Freddie and the Big Flood," in which a boy named Freddie Jackson keeps a pet beaver he has raised from an orphaned kit on a farm near Lost Forest. When Freddie's uncle threatens to get rid of the beaver to win first prize at the county fair with a more conventional pet, Freddie must protect his unusual companion. The story ends with Mark Trail intervening to help Freddie, and a young runaway boy is discovered hiding in the woods, confessing that he had lied to his family about witnessing events he only imagined. Mark ensures the boy will face his family to admit the truth rather than continue running away.
