THE ADVENTURES OF K9
No. 4

An entire planet vanishes — a planet that was owned by Tellac Inc., a galactic company that turns whole worlds into mines and factories for their own profit. K9 is sent to find the missing planet. He finds instead a new universe and a very strange new breed of men...

K9 AND THE ZETA RESCUE
K9 AND THE BEASTS OF VEGA
K9 AND THE TIME TRAP
