Another unusual choice of literary classics to adapt into book and record form was this, Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn.
Not that the story isn't a classic of course, but it lacks the kind of slam-bang action others in the series, like Robin Hood and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, provided. But its obvious that Power Records was trying to get a wider audience with their "Literary Classics" line, and Finn is in the public domain, so...
I don't recognize the art, although the cover figure looks Carmine Infantino-ish to me, and on the insides some of it looks like the work of master illustrator Dan Speigle, especially in some of the faces. But I can't be sure.
Like yesterday's Little Women book and record set, I have not been able to find an audio track for this book anywhere, so for now just the book will have to do. If I ever come across it somewhere (or get it made myself), I'll come back and put it up here!

Art still smells like Continuity Associates to me...? Did Carmine moonlight for them?
Great Father's Day, to those who are same!

I believe the artwork is by Jack Sparling.

Huckleberry Finn comic books never was so successful, but this was due to the fact that his stories were so similar, always was the same sequence, in different scenario.
I enjoy reading this comics, specially because a friend of mine looks like this character. I'm always annoy him, and he sometimes stayed angry with me.
