Hot Rods and Racing Cars #79
The issue features two main stories. "The Decision!" follows Clint Curtis and the Road Knights as they watch Ferrari and other European racing teams compete in the 1952 Mille Miglia race in Brescia, Italy, where practice runs are observed by Italian spectators who analyze the competing vehicles for weaknesses. "The Good Sport!" depicts Mel Marlin facing off against a rival driver in what appears to be a high-stakes racing challenge, with dialogue revealing tensions about competitive driving abilities and career stakes among the competitors.
