Description

Meanwhile at the Wonderworld Amusement Park in California, Johnny has been invited to participate in a special racecar competition where the drivers have to keep their identities a secret to the general public. When the race begins, Johnny's Formula-1 racer manages to get ahead of the pack and zips into a tunnel on the race track. When the car emerges on the other side one of the tires suddenly bursts causing the car to crash in a fiery explosion. Boom. 40 years ago.

And credit where credit is due: despite the drama, Ben was dubious that a car crash could ever take out Johnny (sometimes I go super-nova) Storm. The off-beat plot stands up when you recall that Byrne was serving up some commentary about Neal Adams's support for a 19th C hypothesis that the planet Earth was expanding in volume, and the named antagonist in the story (Alden Maas) is an anagram of Neal Adams.
