Without a doubt, “I Love Lucy”—which debuted on CBS in 1951—is one of the best-loved television comedies of all-time, but did you know that I Love Lucy was a successful Dell comic book that ran from 1954 until 1962—five years after the TV series that inspired it ended?

The comic book series was the only opportunity for the public to see Lucy and Ricky’s zany adventures in color, and this Prestige Format one-shot collects some of the Ricardos’ most sought-after comic book appearances.

The stories are as outlandishly fun as the sitcom’s plots and include Lucy’s endeavors to get Little Ricky into his dad’s band, the Mertzes efforts to tar the roof of the apartment building, and Lucy and Ethel’s attempts to throw a surprise anniversary party for Ricky. This is a nice edition that celebrates the 40th anniversary of “I Love Lucy.”
