Atomic Mouse #11

Count Gatto tricks a visiting Saturnian into taking a sleeping pill, then swipes Atomic Mouse's belt while our hero is conked out cold—leaving Count free to scheme about commandeering the alien's super-fast spaceship. With his powers out of commission and time running short, Atomic Mouse has to wake up and figure out how to stop Count Gatto before the villain can pull off the ultimate heist. It's a race against the clock in this 1954 adventure where even a good nap can lead to big trouble!

Private Willie's prize-trained horse is commandeered by his commanding officer, leaving him to ride an old milk-wagon nag in the afternoon's race—and the laughing stock of the whole camp. When Winnie Worm gives Willie a lucky horseshoe for the saddle, neither of them expects the metal to attract lightning during a sudden storm, spooking the supposedly slow horse into a furious gallop that carries Willie to a shocking victory. It's a delightful tale of luck, loyalty, and how sometimes the underdog (or under-horse) just needs the right spark.

It's a wild, high-energy romp full of combat and narrow escapes that'll have you grinning at Benny's bold dream.

Professor Invento plans to take a group of orphans to Funland Park for a day of fun, and Atomic Mouse generously flies the bus there to save gasoline money. But when they arrive, the park's new owner—the greedy Count Gatto—charges such outrageous prices that the Professor's $50 and the kids' meager savings won't cover even a fraction of the rides and food. With the orphans' day ruined, Atomic Mouse steps in with an unexpected solution to change Count Gatto's mind about his pricing scheme.

Tubby the Scout eagerly prepares for a camping trip with his Scout Master, Gerald Giraffe, helping with supplies before a long night of planning—only to realize he hasn't packed his own gear.
