☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Ship of Wanted Men!", Bobo’s latest obsession—flying saucers—takes a wild turn when a mysterious UFO appears over town each month. With a spacesuit and a sky-high adventure, Bobo finds himself strapped to a rogue rocket rigged by crooks, who use the distraction to rob jewelry stores. As he soars above the city, he’s forced to think fast, steering the saucer with a daring move that could bring justice—and a new weapon for his look-out station. Written by John Broome, with dynamic art by Carmine Infantino and inks by Joe Giella, and a striking cover by Gil Kane and Bernard Sachs, this 1955 DC classic blends sci-fi mischief with classic caper energy.

With Danny signaling for help, Rex springs into action, using his wits and courage to outmaneuver the enemy just as rescue draws near.

With the reward money, he upgrades his look-out station, proving once again that even the wildest ideas can lead to a good idea.
