In "Music for the Masses, Chapter 1," the Pussycats jet off to the small European country of Moldaria to film a music video—unaware that public concerts are strictly forbidden there. Written by Dan Parent and illustrated by Rex W. Lindsey, with inks by Rich Koslowski and colors by Barry Grossman, the issue kicks off a high-stakes adventure where rock 'n' roll meets a nation that’s never heard a guitar riff. The cover, penciled by Rex Lindsey and inked by Bob Smith, captures the band’s bold entrance into a place that’s never seen their kind before.
