RSA VOLUME 3 ISSUE 25 - OCTOBER 1990 - "LIL' RALPHIE-THE EARLY YEARS"

Note: This issue consists of two reprinted stories featuring Ralph Snart as a young child; the Halloween special (volume 3 issue 16) and the Ralph unearthing alien sand creatures at the beach story (volume 1 issue 2). Both plot summaries are reprinted below:

Story 1

It's the day before Halloween, 1973, and young brat Ralph Snart is gearing up for the big day. He puts on his costume and scares his Father. His Father gets a monster costume and hides in Ralph's closet to teach Ralph a lesson. In the meantime, Ace Mudley, a notorious axe murderer from the 1950's suddenly awakens from his grave in the cemetary and is seeking an "axe murderers fix." After wandering around for a while, Ace finally finds an axe. Meanwhile, Ralph has discovered the monster (his Father) hiding in his closet, and beats him senseless with a baseball bat. Then another monster (Ace) breaks through the front door ready to lop off a few heads. Ralph proceeds to beat him with the bat also. Ace remains a little uppity, so Ralph gives him some "bonus clobbering" until he is just a pile of bones. Ralph's beaten Father comes downstairs, and although Ralph is extremely proud of himself for clubbing two monsters in the same night, he finds himself grounded for Halloween.

Story 2

Ralph is at the beach, and uncovers the secret hiding place of a wild pack of alien spies. They are running off with Ralph when his parents spot them. This pisses off Ralph's father, and he turns into a huge muscle bound monster who kicks the aliens asses. The story ends with an impressed Ralph telling his pop that "he's his hero".
