Stories and art by Bob Powell and others. Fawcett taps into the teen racing scene of the 1950s with one of the earliest racing comics. Clint Curtis and the Road Knights - the law-abiding kind of street-racing gang - get the airport and the city to approve a drag race. Every issue has illustrated mechanical and racing-culture features. This issue includes pinup-style drawings of the Jaguar XK-120, the Cunningham, and the MG Model TD Midget. Clint tries to convince the authorities that not only are the Road Knights a legit club, they want to help with the city's Civilian Defense program. Clint Curtis: Safety Comes in First; The Operation of Hydraulic Brakes; The Sports Car Gallery; Beauty Hints for Your Car; Why Not Build a Ford Four-Barrel?; Clint Curtis: Hot Rods for Civilian Defense. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
