Josie and the Pussycats #81

In "It's the Real Thing," Josie and the Pussycats face off against the reckless driving habits of Alex, whose disregard for speed and safety hits a nerve when the energy crisis hits the town—especially since the Cabots seem immune to both fuel shortages and road risks. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature flair, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s vibrant colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1975 classic captures the band’s spirited energy. Stan Goldberg’s dynamic cover art perfectly captures the tension behind the wheel.
