“Amazed!”

In "Amazed!", U.S. faces off against Taryn in a high-stakes chicken-part delivery race, but things take a wild turn when a stranded alien spacecraft interrupts the course. With a surprising request for chicken parts to fix his ship, the alien makes up for the delay by lifting U.S.'s truck through the air and flying it straight to the finish line—ensuring a victory neither expected. Written by Al Milgrom and illustrated by Frank Springer, with inks by Mike Esposito, colors by Christie Scheele, and letters by Michael Higgins, the cover by Michael Golden captures the absurd, galactic chaos of this 1983 Marvel classic.

During the race, U.S. is waylaid by a spacecraft, and the alien requests some chicken parts to repair his ship.
