Ron Rooney and the Million Dollar Comic — Susan Schade

Illustrated in black-and-white. When Ron Rooney happens upon a page torn from a collector's guide that tells him Larry the Lizard No. 1 is worth $1,250,000, he's ecstatic. He actually owns a copy! He races home, only to discover that his little sister has put the comic book in her class's space capsule on its way to Mars. But all's not lost yet. Maybe Harold Fishbone, the shrewd fanboy, has a copy and would be willing to part with it for a couple of dollars. All eyes are on the prize as readers follow Ron on a madcap race against a fellow comic collector and a strange man from the future. It's every comic-lover's dream come true...or is it?
