Classics Illustrated #74 — Mr. Midshipman Easy
Canadian Edition | HRN 75 | Gilberton Company | Golden Age
This Canadian printing of Classics Illustrated #74 adapts Frederick
Marryat's classic naval adventure — the rollicking tale of young Jack

science story, a heroic dog story, and a Famous Opera feature.
