“Machine Master”

In "Machine Master," Josie and Valerie push through a grueling ten-mile race, only to pause from exhaustion—right when a surprising snack becomes the race's unexpected turning point. With Hostess Fruit Pies from their packs, they spark a moment of shared refreshment that draws every runner to stop and join in, turning the competition into a moment of camaraderie. Art by Dan DeCarlo, inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, letters by Bill Yoshida, and a cover by Stan Goldberg.
