☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "The Gold Stampede!", Rex the Wonder Dog stars in a high-stakes charity fair adventure, where his keen eye spots four suspicious men all puffing on pipes—just before they unleash tear gas to steal the event’s funds. With quick thinking and a dash of canine cleverness, Rex uses the gas to turn stampeding bulls around, then tracks the culprits through Gold City, culminating in a perfectly timed rooftop landing of a "Gold Nugget Hotel" sign.
In "See No Evil, Hear No Evil!", Rex the Wonder Dog’s sidekick Bobo gets swept up in a wild case when a movie star chimp, Miss Moka, is kidnapped right on set. With a new obsession for weightlifting and a sudden crush on the Sheriff’s visit, Bobo tracks the thieves by a single out-of-order taillight—only to learn that smarts beat muscle when a splash of salt water blinds a thug. The adventure ends with Bobo trading his weights for a movie role, proving that even a dog with a brawn obsession can think on his feet.
In "The Four-Footed Lighthouse Keeper!", young Danny and his uncle Erik face a storm-driven crisis when the lighthouse power fails, leaving the nearby sea dangerously dark. With no way to signal a passing ship, Rex—the clever wonder dog—swims through the waves and rides the hull to deliver a life-saving warning, uncovering a daring smuggling scheme in the process.
