Finding CDRR Comics
Your best shot is comic stores that sell old comics, you'll more than likely find issues there. Go to several. You can try the Goodwill but I doubt they'll be in good condition. You can also try Flea Markets, although your luck will be quite limited.

Quality Degeneration
The best part about these comics is there is absolutely no quality degeneration. I applaud the story writer(s) and the artist(s) on their terrific job in drawing the Rangers in all their glory.

Identifying CDRR Comics
I don't think very many people could not pick out CDRR while looking through a stack of comics. But If you are afraid of missing one, a very easy way to identify them is to look at the top left corner of the comic. You should be able to tell by the picture below.

A Word About Issue 20
Issue 20 is described in the back of issue 19...

The Techno-Rats are back! What's more, the whole city's been plunged into darkness and invaded by flying saucers, evil robots and El Macho, the masked wrestler! Amid all of this madness, the Rescue Rangers must solve the mystery of "Drool...the Monster from the 13th Planet," by Saavedra, Saavedra & friends. It's all on sale in mid-November. Join us, won't you.

Sadly, issue 20 doesn't exsist. When the cartoon series was pulled from production, the comic slowly and quietly went with it.

The Secret Casebook
Thanks to Chris "Malachite" Sweeters, Natasha Kashefipour, and Paul Lapensee for contributing the information that will fill this void.

The Secret Casebook is an archive of stories that were made overseas. The stories below had their U.S. debut in this book.

- Lights Out -
A mole named "Mickey" hatches a plot to cause a permanant eclipse of the sun. Note that Monty does not appear in this story.

- Bones Away! -
Fat cat and Ms. X (a female cat) try to steal all the money and jewels from people at a wealthy dog show, using special dog bones that release a sleep gas. Gadget and Zipper do not appear in this story.

- All That Glitters Is Not Banana -
The Rangers get a distress call from a Boleslauseh Hamster who says that hamsters from a pet shop are suddenly disappearing. Basically, all you really need to know is that it's a mad scientist with an invisiblity machine with a plot to still gold that is foiled by the Rangers. Then the scientist steals all the bananas from the zoo to make the gorilla's mad enough to beat up the Rangers. wow... great story... >8^(

- What's For Desert -
The rangers get a distress call from some Oysters (oysters this time! sheesh!). They find out that there is a lobster making the Oysters grow pearls for them. Only Chip, Dale, and Gadget appear in this one.

- The Show Must Bow Wow Go On Yip! -
Fat Cat and Snout plant dynamite all around a building where a dog show is being held. Zipper fans will like this one. Since Zippers the only Ranger not entrapped by Fat Cat, he quickly becomes the hero of this story.
