This is a very good comic book/ graphic novel. I really enjoyed it. I love the Velma's Monsters at the end.

My son became a reader when he took to comic books. Yeah! Before he got into comic books, however, we had a short-lived experiment where we subscribed to Scooby-Doo! Where Are You? I think this may have been a gift from his aunt, but I do not recall. I don't think Fritz was reading much at this point. To be fair, he was young.
Me? I grew up watching this. I always enjoyed the Saturday morning cartoon. In my effort to get a handle on the overwhelming volume of comic books, I am organizing. Interestingly, our run of this comic began at #41. After a whole lot of effort, I found out those prior to #40 don't seem to be available in digital format at this point. Oh, I saw the illegal ones, but they don't read the same as Comixology. So, I began with #40 after I purchased it from Comixology. I quickly realized I didn't need to do this as Scooby-Doo will not continue issue to issue. They are one-offs, as it were. It appears each comic book has two stories and a Velma section. The Velma section is no good.
The two stories here seem very much in the spirit of the cartoon. What I did notice is that they are efficient in the telling of the story. There is nothing extra, therefore, they appear short. It's a 22-page issue. Not much room for superfluous stuff.
The first story was about a series of package delivery trucks disappearing in a Tex-Mex area. When the gang looks into it, an old scary lumberjack-kind-of--guy scared folks off. Then they met a normal scientist guy who was awaiting lab results. You got it! The assistant knew there was uranium in them thar mountains and was trying to keep it for herself.
The second story took place at a circus. A big monster scared off customers as they had at circuses throughout the country. Velma figured out that a couple circus performers were robbing the townsfolk wherever the circus stopped. After a slew of robberies, the monster would appear to stop anyone from looking further into the circus.
Then there was the Velma thud section.
Overall, not bad.
