Space Adventures #53

In "Operation Pluto," Queen Anyana rules the planet Pluto while two space traders, Wix and Gurkus, seize control of her kingdom. Sent to restore order, the Space Rangers—Rex Clive and Speed Lansing—launch from the Solario, only to face Wix’s rebellion when he destroys their transport. With the Solario gone, the Rangers take to the skies, dismantling Wix’s fleet with precision. As peace returns, both Wix and Gurkus are dealt with, and Rex and Speed are greeted by Queen Anyana as heroes.

In "Trouble on Phobos," Captain Norgo’s smuggling run with the banned substance Fluvia takes a dangerous turn when Space Rangers Barry and Jones board his ship, only to be locked in the cargo hold. With Fluvia dumped into the engines, the ship spirals off course—just as Adjutant Lansing arrives to intercept it.

In the remote iron mine on Decima, the tenth moon of Jupiter, newlyweds Jak and Maida Barv face a growing threat as their robot workforce turns hostile. When Maida is kidnapped by a rogue machine, Jak must confront the truth behind the uprising—and the shocking identity of the man behind the robot skin.

In "The Smugglers of Callisto," the Space Rangers intercept a mysterious pattern of methane cargo explosions in the asteroid belt—only to uncover a clever operation led by the cunning Soq and his daughter Kara, who are using the chaos to vanish their stolen goods. With the trail leading to Callisto, the Rangers must outwit a smuggler’s network that’s as slippery as the ice they hide among.
