Disclose Notes: Cover code: 10067-611. First issue of this title since Huckleberry Hound (Western, 1962 Series) #27 (July 1965), ending a hiatus of nearly a year-and-a-half.

Barring a 1965 giant comic one-shot, The Flintstones with Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm (Western, 1965 Series) #1 (November 1965) which sported a new cover and contained at least one new story, this is the first Hanna-Barbera regular-line reprint comic. The Huckleberry Hound title would be largely comprised of reprints – with occasional new stories and new covers – from this point until its end with issue #43 in 1970. All content in this issue is reprinted from 1959 Dell issues.

No ads in this issue. All 36 pages are comics or comics-related text material.

Disclose Notes: Pencils and inks credits for this sequence from Alberto Becattini. The little bird and fox, with Huck thrown into the mix as the bird's protector, presages the "core situation" of Hanna-Barbera's later Yakky Doodle cartoons, with Fibber Fox and Chopper the Bulldog. The "If-you-get-into-trouble-just-whistle!" idea goes back with Hanna-Barbera to Tom and Jerry, and forward with the same producers to Pixie, Dixie, and Mr. Jinks.
