☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology issue featuring multiple puppet-themed stories. "Spotty the Pup" follows private eye Sam Spike and his assistant Miss Bubbles as they investigate a case involving a stolen vase reported by a woman named Miss Splotz. "Pecos Bill and the Rattlesnake" recounts how Pecos Bill, after discovering he was human rather than a coyote, uses a shouted yell to startle wild steers on a ranch, causing them to shed their skins in terror. The issue also includes stories featuring characters like Cheeta engaged in action-adventure scenarios involving caves, bullets with wings, and hostile Native American characters.
Sparky Smith gets swept up in theatrical ambitions when an elegant Broadway actor arrives in town to perform Romeo and Juliet, recruiting the eager young man and his chimp companion Cheeta for the production. What starts as a dream of stardom quickly turns into chaos when Sparky discovers the actor is running a counterfeiting operation—and the real trouble begins when they try to stop him. It's a wild mix of slapstick theater mishaps and frontier adventure as Sparky chases down the crook across the western landscape.
Two adventurers and a town convinced they've volunteered to hunt down the notorious Cannonball Ghost—a creature that's allegedly claimed ten men—head into dangerous territory armed with little more than determination and a growing suspicion that something doesn't add up. As they navigate warning signs and mysterious explosions, they begin to uncover the truth behind the legend and discover the real nature of the threat they're facing. A western tall tale with plenty of humor and surprises waiting around every corner.
Private eye Sam Spike takes on the case of a stolen priceless vase when Miss Splotz bursts into his office desperate for help—and the thieves have threatened to smash it if she calls the police. After tracking the criminals to a mysterious house on the outskirts of town, Spike finds himself trapped and in real danger, but an unexpected ally arrives to help him turn the tables. With the vase's location finally within reach, Spike must outmaneuver the criminals and rescue Miss Splotz before it's too late.
