U.S. 1 #12

In "The Truck Stops Here!", the Archer brothers push the limits of speed and space in a high-stakes race to become the first human space trucker, with U.S. emerging victorious. As the race concludes, U.S. departs Earth in his new space rig, while Poppa, Annie, and Mary follow suit, setting up a new truck stop among the stars. Written by Al Milgrom and illustrated with sharp, kinetic energy by Steve Ditko, with inks by Danny Bulanadi, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Janice Chiang, the issue's dynamic visuals are matched by the bold, grounded premise of a family building a new frontier in the cosmos. The cover by Michael Golden captures the moment with a striking, wide-eyed view of the departing rigs against the vastness of space.
