Mod Wheels #6 (Gold Key, 06/72)

This supposedly suspenseful issue concerns, as usual, two different stories: a troubled father and son, and the women's liberation movement. The first story is the typical soapy tear-jerker about a boy who feels neglected by his auto-obsessed father. The results are predictable, but I found Wheels' advice to be particularly bizarre. At one point he recommends to the lad that he bury his troubles by merely mimicking his father's actions; bury those problems deep, eh? Great advice.
The second story has Wheels' crew initially mocking the women's lib activities of their only female member. After some storyline padding, this acrimony resolves itself in a car race where the boys find out that the real winner of the race is tolerance. *yawns* I suppose the good people at Gold Key deserve some credit for including such a controversial plot line in 1972, but the conclusion just seems too shallow and forced for my liking. With that said, however, this is just a comic book, not a literary classic. Rock on Wheels!
