Space Adventures #9

In "Speed-Up!", a 1954 Charlton comic, a desperate man named Herman Lindsay injects his dog Fido with a mysterious serum, granting the animal the ability to talk—and read, and write. When Lindsay forces Fido to betray his new friends, Ted and Marion Kent, the dog’s quiet defiance sets off a chain of events that leads to a shocking arrest. Written by Carl Memling and illustrated by Tony Tallarico, with inks by Vince Alascia, the story unfolds with a tense, eerie edge, all capped by a striking cover by Dick Giordano.
