RSA VOLUME 3 ISSUE 13 - OCTOBER 1989 - "PURIFICATION ADVISOR RETURNS"
Ralph Snart, who was given a mega-dose of growth serum by Dr. Goot, is out of control.
Dr. Goot is finally able to subdue him by shooting him with a cannon. The dazed Ralph
Snart enters his fanstasy world...We see a stinking, rotting stiff laying motionless
on the ground; it moves and we find out it's alive; it is merely Ralph Snart with a
hangover. Ralph undergoes his standard hangover curing ritual, and is relaxing in a chair
when there is a loud knock on the door.
At the door we find his old nemesis "the purification
advisor", who now has a new job with the Comic Monitoring Alliance of America, since the
cult of the Red Cabbage was abandoned thanks to Ralph (RSA volume 3 issue 9). He sits
Ralph on his "stool of righteous behavior", and zaps him with 10,000 volts of electricity
every time Ralph gives a "wrong" answer. Much later, Ralph has become a respectable comic
book character, and is introduced to the doubting media at a press conference, where Ralph
succeeds in convincing them he has changed. One Month later, Ralph is called into NOW
Comic's publisher Tony Caputo's office to be told sales of RSA have plummeted, and Tony
is cancelling Ralph's comic book.
The purification advisor gives Ralph a job at the
Comic Monitoring Alliance. Ralph notices that there are a lot of attractive lady types at
the alliance, and he would like to "court" some of them with the advisor's permission. The
advisor informs Ralph that a vow of celabacy is required at the alliance. This is what
finally makes Ralph snap. He kicks the advisors ass and paints the town red. Back in
reality, Dr. Goot has fitted Ralph with a costume, and introduces him as his latest
creation; Goot's Goon. He commands Ralph to go out and destroy.
