“Breakdown”

The big football rally at State College was in full swing that evening. With so many students and fans in attendance, the local police captain had assigned a K-9 patrol unit to help curtail any high jinks. There has been tension between State and Poly College recently and some of the pranks pulled by both sides caused property damage.

Say hello to Police Sgt. Danny Nolan. His night is about to go from reprimanding drunken college kids to a full-on explosive standoff. With his trusty partner, Duke the police dog, Sgt. Nolan feels like he can handle anything. It’s time to get to work, Duke. Good boy!

Reviewer Notes

Even though this was a one-shot comic book, I really did enjoy reading about Duke and the history of police dogs. If you are a fan of vintage Gold Key Comics, or dogs in general, this will be a fun read.

Western Publishing always tried to both entertain and educate the youth of America with their products. It is quite evident here, and, in my opinion, should be a road map for modern age publishers. Kids definitely got their money’s worth back in the 1960s. I give Duke and his sidekick, Sgt. Danny Nolan, four out of five stars. This one’s a keeper.
