Archie's R/C Racers #9

Texas is the backdrop for some seriously soggy chaos in this January 1991 installment of Archie's R/C Racers, as a massive orca named Babbette leaps from the water amid a shower of spray, sending RC boats, a jet ski, and at least one unlucky bystander flying in every direction. Cover pencils by Bill Golliher and inks by Jon D'Agostino pack the scene with panicked racers clutching their controllers in front of the Alamo and a lone-star flag, capturing the wide-eyed energy that made this series such a fun ride. With the cover promising "R/C Racing Lunacy Across the Lone Star State," issue #9 delivers exactly the kind of outrageous, good-natured mayhem fans of the series came to expect.
