The Adventures of Rick Roberts (Porsche as a villain)

Recently I was poking through some old comic books from my in-laws and came across this classic of the early '70's comic-book genre. Whoever drew it was obviously a motorsports fan since the cars are drawn accurately, right down to the Texas license plate on the Chaparral 2F (although the numbers appear to be wrong). The drawing and description of the Porsche Carrera (906), Lola and Ferrari are all good too. Unfortunately the first couple of pages were missing, so we pick-up the story mid-stream.

















You've got to love the ending though. I wonder what happened during their 30 minute lunch...?

Very funny, wasn't he in the country rock group Firefall in the 70's.

I'm jealous - every time I collide with a 906 all I get is quick snack with a red headed CRAZY GIRL - no blonde chicks at all. Also, my 2F is having transmission problems.
