Spawn Of Super Dog?

We've seen Ellis Chambers' one-shot Super Dog previously. What happened to him after his single appearance is unknown - but we can make a guess. Eight years later, Super Pup arrived on the scene -


Yes, it says #4, but, you know - Comics! That's actually his first issue. He only had two, but i've never seen #5. We don't know who created, wrote, or drew Super Pup. We only know that Frank Carin drew his first cover, and perhaps the second as well.

Super Pup had only three stories total. Two of those were in his first issue, so we've got both of them here today. I believe i've mentioned that Mole Men are a favorite topic for government fear campaigns in many of my worlds. I may have run a couple Mole Men awareness posters.

Super Pup was already on the job 65 years ago -


Okay.
Maybe they were perhaps more likely referencing the George Reeves movie. So let's move right along.

Super Pup gets around in that first issue. From fighting underground menaces we leap into space to chase Uranium Smugglers -
 

See? Cosmo Cat wasn't the only Funny Animal superhero killing off his villains.

Oddly enough, we came to Super Pup looking for the other side of the Cat. 
In theory, we'll get there soon...
