The Adventures of Rex the Wonder Dog #34
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Secret of the Golden Crocodile!", Rex the Wonder Dog teams up with his young friend Danny on a citywide treasure hunt after a newspaper hides a thousand-dollar bill for a stunt. When their dig uncovers a suitcase full of cash, Rex’s instincts kick in—only to lead him on a wild chase across rooftops, trains, and even a helicopter as he tracks down the crooks who swapped the real money. Written by John Broome and brought to life with dynamic art by Gil Kane—inked by Bernard Sachs and lettered by Gaspar Saladino—this 1957 adventure blends playful mystery with high-speed action, all wrapped in a cover by Gil Kane and Bernard Sachs.
Rex and Danny set off into the wilds of Africa, chasing the legend of a golden crocodile, their excitement fueled by Danny’s longing for "darkest Africa" beyond cityscapes and jeeps. When a crocodile attack traps them between beast and predator, a chaotic escape on stampeding elephants leads them straight into a hidden treasure trove — where a crocodile statue of solid gold awaits. Back at camp, Major Dennis admits the myth may be just that, but Rex and Danny can’t stop laughing as they collapse in disbelief.
When Detective Chimp Bobo gets obsessed with his new camera, he accidentally captures Silver's gang in the act—just as they try to lure him to a hotel room with a trap. With a wild swing and a misfired gun, Bobo stumbles into a showdown that brings the Sheriff running. But the real surprise? The camera never had film in it all along.
