Hot Rods and Racing Cars #74

This anthology issue features "King Cobra" by Jack Keller, in which former hot rodder Ken King enters the world of road racing with his mighty Cobra, leading a race until he approaches a dangerous hairpin turn at excessive speed, loses control, and crashes. Ben Maxwell, a racing driver who had left the sport after a near-fatal accident, arrives at the hospital to find Ken alive, and the experience inspires Ben to return to racing himself, eventually reconnecting with his former employer Charley Pincanage at a garage. The cover also advertises two additional stories: "Clint Curtis and the Road Knights Take On the Thundering Herd" and "The Return of the Champ," though the interior pages shown focus primarily on the King Cobra narrative.
