☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSuper Pup battles robot armies during a nighttime moon raid in the opening story. In a separate adventure, Space Mouse takes a job from a mad doctor to destroy an insect fleet while it is still in the egg and larva stage, traveling to Mars in a rocket ship with the doctor's son Bob; Bob secretly plans to sabotage his father's scheme. A western-themed story features a character attempting to lasso a bull and catch a escaped varmint, with slapstick confrontations involving a large cactus and animals.
When the Earth Embassy on the Moon sends out a desperate distress call, Super Pup rockets to the lunar surface to find robot armies attacking and the Ambassador dead. Investigating the conflict, Super Pup uncovers a scheme of exploitation and corruption that runs deeper than anyone suspected—and discovers the real enemy may be closer to home than the Moon Men themselves.
Space Mouse and his companion Molly accept a risky sightseeing tour of the Penal Planet—the universe's most secure prison for dangerous criminals—and soon find themselves caught in the middle of a daring escape attempt. When convicts stow away aboard their ship and take control, Space Mouse must use his wits and the ship's systems to stay one step ahead of his captors and warn the incoming rescue party. It's a nail-biting chase through the stars that tests whether brains can outmatch brawn.
Space Mouse's relaxing South American vacation takes a sharp turn when he spots a giant mosquito darting through the jungle—the first sign of a sinister plot involving artificially bred colossal insects. Infiltrating a mysterious bubble in the jungle, he uncovers a mad scientist's plan to unleash these creatures on Earth's capitals, then rally the panicked world under his rule. Space Mouse goes undercover, traveling to Mars to sabotage the hatcheries where the insect army awaits, but he'll need the scientist's own son to stop a scheme that's spiraled far beyond either of them.
Spotty the Pup is a well-meaning but accident-prone ranch hand working for Pete Pooch, whose daughter Pansy keeps giving him second chances despite his repeated failures at every cowboy task. When cattle rustlers steal Mr. Pooch's prized bull Homer, Spotty gets his unlikely chance to prove himself—though probably not in the way anyone expects. A goofball western where bumbling heroics and pure dumb luck might just save the day.
