So
Krypto is flying along in space, when...
Well,
Mammoth Mutt dies--yup,
not a dream,
not a hoax, he bites the bullet--but not before he reveals that the rest of the
Space Canine Patrol Agents have been captured.
Krypto allows himself to be captured in order to rescue them...
so let's meet the dogs!
Uhh...I'm
overwhelmed?!?
Better...
No, they're
not "as sensational as the
Legion Of Super-Heroes." Except, of course, they haven't been rebooted 17 times...
Anyway, Krytpo has lost his powers [
SPOILER ALERT: he's been chewing some gum tainted with "
a pinch" of kryptonite.
Silver Age], so it's up to the S.C.P.A. to rescue themselves. Are they up to it?
And the battle is on!!
Yes, the bad guys are
anthropomorphic dogs. Yes, this creates a
Goofy/Pluto situation. Silver Age.
Please, no comments about making a movie version of the "
canine centipede." Because
ewwwwww.
From Superboy #131 (1966). But there is one reason that doges make crappy heroes. Tune in later this morning to find out why...

That has to be the greatest comic I have ever seen.
I read this in the British b/w Super DC monthly circa 1970 and was suitably moved as a 7-year-old by the pathos and grandeur of the SCPA. Why they never teamed up with the Super-Pets astounds me.
