The Adventures of Rex the Wonder Dog #22
In "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.
