This anthology issue contains multiple racing and automotive stories. One story follows soldiers in a military conflict who attempt to salvage a vehicle by clearing junk from a minefield. Another features the rivalry between Mitch Lemon and Chad Garner in a 100-horsepower competition during the Dragon Hill Road Race, where circumstances lead to an unexpected outcome involving a character called "Dead Man." A third story, titled "The Monster Had a Mind," depicts Gary Crane, who flipped his hot rod eight months prior and suffered injuries, returning to racing with a newly modified vehicle featuring electronic equipment, despite medical restrictions on his leg use.
