Hot Rod and Speedway Comics #3
Hot Rod and Speedway Comics #3 is an anthology featuring multiple automotive-themed stories. "The Turnpike Orphan" follows Ronnie, a young mechanic who is fired from Mr. Talbot's garage and must prove himself by taking his car onto the hayland turnpike, where he encounters the experienced Doug Foster and learns valuable racing advice from Ralph Brady about navigating Devil's Elbow at dangerous speeds. "The Steam-Gas Drag" depicts a debate between George Boeckel, who argues that steam-powered cars were superior relics, and Tim O'Hara, who contends that modern gas engines will always outperform steam vehicles, set against the backdrop of a museum display.
