The Comic Book Makers #[nn]

In "The Laughing Hyena," the Boy Explorers—Mister Zero, Gadget, Smiley, and Gashouse—join forces with the seasoned Commodore Sindbad on a perilous expedition to an uncharted island where prehistoric dinosaurs roam and a fierce tribe plots to harness them for world domination. With the mysterious Smedley, a dinosaur with an unexpected role, at their side, the team must outwit danger and unravel the island’s secrets before the tribe’s dark ambitions come to life.

In "Are You a Red Dupe?", Melvin Blizunken takes a satirical swing at Cold War paranoia, poking fun at anti-comic crusaders by framing the Soviet "Daily Worker" and Dr. Frederick Wertham as the real villains behind the comic book industry's struggles—just in time for 1990's cultural anxieties.

Johnny Parker finds unexpected peace in Sanctuary, a hidden refuge for those cast aside by society, until his quiet life is upended by his growing affection for Elena, the gentle secretary. As their bond deepens, he begins to uncover a secret she’s kept buried—something that threatens to unravel everything he thought he knew about her, and about the sanctuary itself.
