I generally do not post my Dells on the boards figuring no one would care but I pulled some of them to scan for this thread.

 

So here are the current favorites for some of the Dell series I collect, starting with Lassie -

 

 

Isnt there a prize winning Matt Baker cover from this run, complete with parakeets?

That looks like a typical Lassie painting (a very nice one!) but then you notice the Mayan glyphs in the background. Is the reflective of the interior story?

"the comic book has some of the most beautiful artwork drawn from the era. Covers usually depicted Lassie frolicking with various birds, frogs, chicks, monkeys, turtles, cats, or puppies. One particularly vivid cover image was issue #21, which showed Lassie taking drastic action by hurrying with a first-aid kit. This cover, along with #20 and #22, was drawn by Matt Baker"

 

Check out #21 and look at the eyes - and it's the same style as #32 - but I cant recall where I read that it was an award winner!
