Speed Demons #9

Racing fans who love their action grounded in real-world competition will find a lot to enjoy in this 1958 Charlton gem. The cover by Maurice Whitman puts you right in the thick of it: a sleek blue racer numbered 12 screams through the streets past an ornate iron gate and a grand building, while a red competitor behind it appears to have spun out in a cloud of smoke and sparks, crowds lining the route in the background. With "The Grand Prix De Cuba" promised inside — written by Joe Gill with art by Rocco Mastroserio — Speed Demons #9 delivers the heat of international road racing at a dime a copy.
