>>8623988ok, after much research, the Rusty Brown book is about a bunch of different characters, including Rusty's dad, who looks like Rusty when he's older.
So you get a couple dozen pages about Rusty Brown's early life, but nothing from his collector days that we all love.
Pages like this show up in issues 10-15 from the Acme Novelty Library. The Rusty Brown book collects issues 16-20. Some of these issues have nothing to do with the dad nor Rusty, so there's quite a bit of "filler", which is what Rusty was for the earlier issues.
