Ace Hart balks at the idea of being surrounded by "musclebound supermutts," so Eliot sends him to accompany Eddie to the Dog City Comic Book Convention. Eddie is thrilled by the modern heroes, but scoffs at the old-hat comics starring the Watch Dog. When Bugsy Vile and his gang plot to steal the one hundred rarest comics, however, they are beaten to the bunch by a new pack of crooks, the Labrador Gang. The Labradors are themselves captured by the Watchdog, surfacing mysteriously on cue.

  • Ace Hart balks at the idea of being surrounded by "musclebound supermutts," so Eliot sends him to accompany Eddie to the Dog City Comic Book Convention. Eddie is thrilled by the modern heroes, but scoffs at the old-hat comics starring the Watch Dog. When Bugsy Vile and his gang plot to steal the one hundred rarest comics, however, they are beaten to the bunch by a new pack of crooks, the Labrador Gang. The Labradors are themselves captured by the Watchdog, surfacing mysteriously on cue. The new hero continues to foil the Labrador Gang, but a jealous Ace's suspicions are aroused by the Watch Dog's penchant for fighting crime only when an audience is waiting. Ace interviews Watch Dog creator Fob Canine, who is less than helpful. A direct encounter with the Watch Dog, however, proves that his courage and bravado is largely feigned (or at least restrained by a rehearsed script). Ace reveales the hero as Fob Canine himself, in league with the Labrador Gang (actually comic book artists). Ace reluctantly agrees to help the Watch Dog go out with a bang, not a whimper. A final staged caper is planned, but Bugsy (equally jealous of the Labradors' notoriety) complicates the script. The Watch Dog finally comes through, however, saving the day for the last time. Meanwhile, Eliot is pleased to discover that Artie has finally learned that reading a good hero yarn is more exciting than just playing with action figures.
