In "The Gold Stampede!", Rex the Wonder Dog’s pal Bobo takes a break from his usual antics to try weightlifting—after all, even detectives need strength. When a notorious gang kidnaps Miss Moka, the chimp movie star, Bobo leaps into action, tracking the crooks by a single out-of-order taillight. With a mix of wits and a clever splash of saltwater, he outsmarts the villains in a wild chase that lands him a surprise role in the film. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Carmine Infantino, with lettering by Gaspar Saladino, this 1955 adventure blends slapstick charm and classic detective flair. The cover, by Gil Kane and Bernard Sachs, captures the chaos in bold, dynamic lines.
