“Rad Grad”

In "Rad Grad," the Pussycats face a van-sized crisis when their ride gets repossessed—only to be replaced by a flashy new one, courtesy of Alexandra, who demands the band rebrand as "Alexandra the Great." Their first tour stop in a Central American republic takes an unexpected turn when Alexandra's song ignites a nation, sending ripples through international politics. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—penciled by DeCarlo and inked by Rudy Lapick, with vibrant colors by Barry Grossman and crisp lettering by Bill Yoshida—this issue blends rock 'n' roll chaos with a touch of geopolitical mischief.

The Pussycats' van is repossessed due to lack of payments, so Alexandra provides a new van in exchange for changing the group's name to "Alexandra the Great." The first stop on the tour is in a Central American republic, where Alexandra writes and performs a song that stirs the entire country up to revolution and wrecks American foreign policy in the region.
