Issue #1 of the series

Gold Key & Dell released a comic book series called "Yosemite Sam and
Bugs Bunny'. I've collected many of those. There were at least 75 issues
in the series ! Most of the stories feature Sam as a good-guy, and friend
of Bugs Bunny and Daffy. He is also featured as a Pirate in almost every
story, and is usually on a treasure hunt of some kind or another with Bugs.
We are introduced to his neice and nephew. We get to see his home life
and get a glimpse of his childhood in one story. This is not the Sam we
love from the Warner Brothers cartoons; this is more of a marshmallow-man.
I'm always looking for issues which I do not have.
MISSING: 68, 70
Look
for a synopsis of each issue at a future date.
Yosemite Sam also makes appearances in the current "Looney Tunes" comic
book, but I haven't kept up with those. I'm assuming that Sam is closer
to his rabbit-chasing nature in this series.
