Drak Pack

9/13/1980

Dr. Dred plots to steal the golden artifacts of the Egyptian king, Tut-Tut, and put the blame on the Drak Pack. The boys stake out the museum, only to be caputred. They can only watch as Dr. Dred steals the treasure with a levitater beam. Drak and the others get free and give chase, only to be tricked into having their picture taken, which is left at the scene of the crime to frame them. The boys are in persuit, and end up at O.G.R.E. Island, a moble, artificial island. They are again captured and told of Dred's plans. Drak escapes by turning into a hand-drill. Howler drills through the hull of the fake island with a controled tornado drill, letting in the ocean. Heros and villians alike abandon the sinking island, although the Drak Pack saves the artifacts. They see Toad in a rowboat, pulling a half-destroyed Dredgable. He offers to come work for the Drak Pack, but declines when Drak asks, "Do you do windows?"

There is a new park in town: Pirate Park. Dr. Dred and O.G.R.E. are there to steal the lost treasure. He has Toad swimming around in the huge fish tank. The Drak Pack are there, too. Dred has Drak to come to one of his "secret meetings", this time, in a giant oyster. The oyster forms a pearl around Drak, trapping him inside. Meanwhile, Frankie and Howler are fishing for oysters, in hopes of finding a pearl. Howler hooks a small oyster, and finds a pearl. Frankie then hooks a giant oyster, and gets a gaint pearl. The pearl talks back to Frankie, calling him by name (guess who it is...^_^). Scared, Frankie hurls it away, breaking it, and freeing Drak. They began their search for Dr. Dred at the sea show, where Dred tricks them into feeding the killer whale. The boys ride the whale and eventully end up being thrown to a seal. The seal spins and tosses both Drak and Howler, but gives Frankie a kiss when he lands on the ground. After they are trapped in the tower ride (where we learn two things: Howler is afraid of heights, but can overcome the fear to help his friends, and that the Drak Wack will only work when they ALL do it), they are forced to disguise themselves to keep their fans from getting in the way (and getting hurt). With help from the seal, they find their way to a secret cavern, where they are once again, captured. Dred has the treasure and gets away by blowing a hole in the wall of the cave. The boys trnsform and follow them. After a legthy battle, in which Drak displays his sword fighting skills, the treasure is recovered. Toad is last seen checking oysters for pearls.

Dr. Dred is feeling like a failure because the Drak Pack has defeated him so often. He builds a color collecter that steals the color from anything the ray hits. His first victims are the Drak Pack. First, Frankie's suit fades. Then, Dred steals the colors off the traffic lights, causing them to crash into the Art Museum steps. Soon, Count Dracula (a.k.a. "Big D") sends the boys into action. Dr. Dred tricks Drak into a "secret meeting", and the three are captured. Dr. Dred has Toad to drown them in the color, pink. For some reason, Frankie hates pink. Drak and Howler use this knowledge into getting Frankie angry enough that he breaks the ropes holding them. They then "Drak Wack", a three-way high-five that changes them into their monster forms. It is during this battle that we find out about the mild attraction that Vampira has for Drak. After a colorful battle, Dred and O.G.R.E. get away in their Dredgable. After a couple of wrong starts, Drak gets the hang of the color collecter and returns all the stolen colors. They return to Drak Pack Headquarters to report to Dracula, only to find that his colors were all wrong.

This adventure begins with a beach scene in Florida. Suddenly, a sea monster appears and scares everyone off. The monster is Vampira. Meanwhile, it's winter in the Drak Pack's city. Big D is in Florida for a monster concention, as he is the President of the Transylvanian Retired Spooks, Spectres, and Spirits Society. Back in Florida, Dred and O.G.R.E. scare away the guests and take over the hotel, intending to make the hotel into Dred's Hideout Hotel for the criminals of the world. Big D calls the boys, who arrive at the hotel very quickly. O.G.R.E. captures them and buries them up to the neck on the beach. And the tide is coming in. They boy "Drak Wack" with their heads. Howler uses his super breath to clear out the sand. After Drak learns Dred's plans (secret meeting), the boys plan to drive O.G.R.E. off. Frankie shrinks Mummy Man's bandages; Howler wraps Fly in a beach umbrella; and Drak turns into a seagull and burst Vampira's inflatable raft, sending her sailing off. But they are too late to stop the crooks from arriving at the hotel. So they call on Big D and his friends for help in getting rid of the crooks. Soon, Dred is swamped with complaints about ghosts, dragons, monsters, etc. The crooks flee the hotel, but don't get very far. Big D calls the police to capture the crooks. Big D's convention is a big success.

Dred calls a meeting of O.G.R.E. to show them a new invention, The Photo Grabber. The Photo Grabber turns anything it takes pictures of into photocopies. Meanwhile, Drak and Howler play bodyguards for Frankie, who is depositing money from his piggy bank into the 13th National Bank. Toad bumps into a man taking pictures of a butterfly. The Photo Grabber is accidently switched with the camera. Both Dred and the Drak Pack are in pursuit of the butterfly photographer, who is unaware of what his "camera' really is. They boys search a nearby playground for the butterfly chaser. Each are captured. Dred plans to get rid of the Drak Pack by having the little man shoot them with the Photo Grabber. Vampira turns into a rather ragged-looking butterfly to lure the little man back. They boys escape and "Drak Wack". Vampira succeeds in her quest, only to be shot with the Photo Grabber. Fly, Drak, Howler, Frankie, and Mummy Man also become victems. Dred then switches the Photo Grabber with the camera and restores Vampira, Fly, and Mummy Man. On the Dredgible, Toad accidently frees the Drak Pack, who gets a hold of the Photo Grabber and starts shooting things in the airship. O.G.R.E. escapes in a flat Dredgible. Back home, the boys contact Big D, only to be greeted by a flattened picture of Dracula. Thinking they had goofed, the boys make a run for it. Big D then pops up, wondering where the boys are going. It turns out that the "flat Dracula" was really only a life-sized picture of Big D.

Drak, Frankie, and Howler are on vaction, but Dr. Dred follows them. Dred uses a weather machine --a little gold teapot with a lighting bolt on the side (The "temptest in a teapot") hooked up to a computer to amplify it's power-- to create a snowstorm in summer. Once again, the boys have to discover Dr. Dred's plot and twert it. Dred threatens to send an iceberg that he broke off from the polar icecaps to destroy New York City. He uses a decoy iceberg to distract the Drak Pack while he watches the action from a nearby tropical island. The boys realize that the iceberg was a decoy, and head for the tropcial island, where they are caputred. Before Dr. Dred leaves to watch his iceberg destroy New York, he creates a tidal wave that would destroy the island. The boys escape and stop the iceberg by tricking Toad into destroying it with a lighting bolt. Drak and the others sneak into the Dredgable, and, while the rest of O.G.R.E. is distracted by chacing Toad around, Drak pushes a certain button. They retreat, then trick Dr. Dred into using the machine. The Dredgable is caught in a private snowstorm and the teapot shatters. The Dredgable is last seen flying off somewhere to thaw out.

Dr. Dred creates a shrink ray. He uses it to shrink a train and sneaks into Fork Knox with it. He tries to shrink all of the gold and bring it out on the train. The Drak Pack gets the device and enlarges Dr. Dred and O.G.R.E. as they are running out of the gold room. Dr. Dred has a large amount of the gold in his pockets and the weight ripps his pants off. The newspaper reads "Dr. Dred caught with his pants down". You leave the Drak Pack as they are trying to repair the device. They had been shrunk and one of them dropped the device and broke it before they could reenlarge themselves.

Dr. Dred creates a Time Stopper, which he tests out on an ocean liner. Mummy Man and Fly rob the passingers. They must finish quickly, because the ray effects only last for five minutes. When the ray wears off, the passingers find that they have been robbed. Meanwhile, Drak, Frankie and Howler are on a sking vaction, when Dred sends them a message on a vending machine. At another "secret meeting", Dred tells Drak that he plans to use the Time Stopper to commit crimes all over the world. Then, Dred locks him in a crate and attempts to kidnap him. Frankie and Howler chased them around, trying to get Drak back. After "Drak Wacking" in an elevator, the boys hold down the Dredgible, spoiling the shot. Back to normal, the boys give chase, only to be zapped by the Time Stopper. The plane is robbed, then the boys are placed outside the Drakster. The boys begin falling. They do a mid-air "Drak Wack", and used Drak's cape as a parachute, then as a sail (Frankie was the raft.). Back at Drak Pack Headquarters, Dred tells them his plans. Drak figures out that Dred is going to rob the Mint. The boys are trapped in a vault soon after arriving. Dred then steals the whole Mint. When the boys escape, they gain control of the Time Stopper, which Drak changes to make time go backwards. Later, Big D gets zapped, and the Time Stopper speeds up time.

It's Dr. Dred's birthday and he's upset. It seems that the "birthday cake" that Toad baked was a bit too small: A cupcake! Dred is determined to celebrate his birthday in high-style, letting everyone know that it's his birthday. Feeling guilty about the cupcake, Toad, with the help of Vampira, runs off to get Dr. Dred the perfect present: The Drak Pack. The boys, meanwhile, are about to have supper. Drak is cooking, but cooks up an explosive! They hear Dred singing the "Happy Birthday" song, somewhat off-key. Big D sends they boys to stop Dr. Dred. Dred uses a fly-paper banner to announce his birthday, in which Drak, Frankie, and Howler get stuck. They are thrown off by Toad and Vampira, who fly into the banner. Next, Dred uses clouds to sky-write, "Happy Birthday Dr. Dred" in the air, blocking the sun. Toad can't see where they are going, so he uses his helicopter to slice through the sign. Next, as night falls, Dred has created a birthday sign out of huge, neon letters. The boys pulled the plug on that plan. But Dred has one more plan. He lures the Drak Pack back to their own house and traps them inside. He plants a ring of missiles around the house. Toad and Vampira arrive, and, thinking that the missiles are something that Drak invented, they steal them. They hear noises from inside and think that they had set off an alarm. They find the box that holds the Drak Pack and unknowingly frees them. The guys follow them to O.G.R.E. Island where Toad traps them in a huge, cement cake. Toad and Vampira plant the missiles around the O.G.R.E. headquaters and tie a big, pink ribbon around them. The Drak Pack escape their stone prison, and attack, but Dr. Dred lets them go, refusing to fight on his birthday. When the boys are back home, Dred presses the button that actives the missiles. He is last seen orbiting the Earth. How he gets back down is anybody's guess.

Dr. Dred has a new invention: The Terbites. They are little, pink eggs with little legs and feet, and big teeth and appitites. Upon command, the Terbites will eat anything. Meanwhile, Drak, Frankie, and Howler are going to a monster disco party. They must go in costume. This episode has proof that Dracula is Drak's uncle. Drak calls him "Uncle Dracula" and Howler also mentions that Dracula is Drak's uncle. At any rate, they go to the disco in the swamp, and immediantly choose dance partners. Howler ends up dancing with an octopus creature, while Frankie dances with a plant monster. Drak, himself, ends up dancing with a lovely lady vampire in a long, red dress, purple mask, and a tall, platinum hairdo (guess who...). Howler discovers that the girl he was dancing with was a robot, as all the other guests, but one. The vampiress that Drak was dancing with. She removes the mask and wig to reveal herself as Vampira. She traps the boys, who learn of Dred's plans to steal the Eiffal Tower, the Statute of Liberty, and other great monuments for ransom. Again, Drak and the others escape and fly to New York in the Drakster. Mummy Man and Vampira, disguised as a vacationing couple, set loose Terbites to eat through the statue's pedistal, allowing it to be stolen. The boys are once again trapped, but free themseleves with the Drak Wack. They follow O.G.R.E. to O.G.R.E. Island.

The boys arrive at the movies for a big sneak preview of a new movie. Dred comes on the screen, roaring like the MGM lion. The movie is of the Drak Pack (who have never made movies), who do mean things that the boys never did. At a "secret meeting" in a junkyard, Dred tells Drak that the movies are going to ruin the Drak Pack's good-guy reputation. At the Dreadfull Productions Movie Studio, O.G.R.E. is making another movie. Vampira is playing Drak, Fly is playing Howler, and Mummy Man is playing Frankie. They boys arrive at the studio. Toad (in disguise) gives them a tour. After sruvuving a collapsing bridge, they bounce (in a snowball) down a hill covered in fake snow and land in a pond. Then the boys survive a meeting with a mechanical shark. Dred's next big movie is "High Noon for Big D", where the fake Drak Pack kidnap Dracula and expose him to sunlight. (Or, that's the plan, anyway...) After escaping from another of Dred's traps, they boys arrive in the desert, where they have a western-type show-down with the fakes (minus Vampira, but plus Toad). Howler blows Big D's coffin into a mine, so when the alarm goes off and Big D wakes up, he is not destroyed. Big D is mad because the boys ruined his big movie comeback.

12/27/1980

Big D sends the Drak Pack on a mission to Transylvania for a mysterious package that he has buried near his castle. Dr. Dred follows them because he thinks it may be something that could help him defeat the Drak Pack. They battle in Transylvania for the package. None of them know what is in it and Big D said not to open it. The Drak Pack get back to the states and find out that it was Big D's old teddy bear that he needs to help him sleep.
