Dexter's Laboratory #30

Dexter trades his lab coat for a captain's hat in this 2002 DC/Cartoon Network adventure, as cover artist Bill Wray depicts the pint-sized genius at the helm of a massive ark, peering through a spyglass while a wonderfully chaotic crowd of animals — lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, pigs, and more — jostle along the rain-soaked deck behind him. "Dexter's Ark!" promises a delightful riff on a very old story, filtered through the show's signature blend of kid-genius ambition and slapstick overload. It's a charming single-issue concept that makes the most of its premise right there on the cover.
