The Adventures of Rex the Wonder Dog #44
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Jungle Trail of Peril!", Rex the Wonder Dog and scientist John Rayburn shrink to atomic size once more, this time landing on a subatomic planet where dogs rule and tiny green humans are kept as pets. With Rayburn quarantined and Rex playing with a human "pet," a sudden alarm triggers an attack by pop-eyed parrots, leading to a wild showdown with their leader, Big Red. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Gil Kane with inks by Bernard Sachs, this 1959 adventure features a cover by Gil Kane and Bernard Sachs that captures the chaos of the dog city under siege.
In the heart of the Javanese jungle, Rex teams up with Major Dennis on a high-stakes search for the missing Wallace Ames and the legendary Pearly Tear Idol. When Ames’s daughter Nina stows away to join the mission, Rex is quick to act—saving her from a storm and fending off deadly predators before the team uncovers a dangerous trap. With danger closing in and the idol within reach, Rex’s training proves vital in a showdown that could end in triumph—or disaster.
In "Where There's Smoke -- There's Bobo!", Bobo, the determined little dog with a big heart and an even bigger fire engine, turns his latest obsession—firefighting—into an unlikely crime-fighting tool. When the Sheriff needs help tracking down three missing convicts, Bobo’s antics lead him straight to a campfire in the woods, where the fugitives are hiding. With foam, a ladder, and his usual flair, Bobo takes them down—just in time for the Sheriff to arrive. Who knew a dog with a tiny fire truck could be such a reliable partner?
In a whimsical twist of scale, Rex the Wonder Dog and scientist John Rayburn shrink to atomic size and land on a bizarre subatomic planet where dogs rule and humans are kept as pets. With two suns overhead and parrots with pop-eyed fury attacking the city, Rex must leap into action to protect his new world—just as Rayburn is finally freed from quarantine. The adventure ends with a promise to return, but the fate of the atom world remains uncertain.
