The Adventures of Rex the Wonder Dog #28
In "Four-Footed Circus Daredevil!", Rex the Wonder Dog proves his heroic instincts aren’t just for the circus ring—when a sky-jacked plane crashes in the mountains, Rex’s nose for trouble leads him through fog and danger to save the day. Written by John Broome and brought to life with dynamic art by Gil Kane and Bernard Sachs, this 1956 adventure sees Rex earn his wings as an Airline Detective, all thanks to a clever escape and a fearless trek through the wilderness. The cover, by Gil Kane and Bernard Sachs, captures Rex’s daring journey in bold, expressive detail.

Shipped on a plane, Rex should be "baggage", but a stewardess lets him ride in the cabin. Rex smells evil as two crooks enter the cockpit and sky-jack the plane. Lost in fog, it crashes onto a mountain top. Rex slips out and treks through fog to a town, then leads the law back, even gets the jump on the crooks. Back home, he receives a citation and "promotion" to Airline Detective!
