RSA VOLUME 5 ISSUE 5 - NOVEMBER 1993 - "CHAPTER 5"
Ralph and Mr. Lizard engage in a disgusting burping contest, while
they are slammimg beers in David Koresh's compound. Koresh then
throws them a couple of weapons, and informs them they are going
to go out and spread the word of the messiah (him). They decide to
kill him though, with a "beer attack"; they pump him full of beer
from a keg, until he explodes. A horrible way for Koresh to die,
but Ralph and Mr. Lizard are merely horrified that they are now out
of beer.
Socks the mutant cat is in Waco looking for Ralph, and he just
misses Ralph and Mr. Lizard as they cross a farmers field. Socks'
aides tell him a cow in the field is really Ralph Snart in disguise,
so he goes and eats out the heart of the cow.
Ralph and Mr. Lizard however, have just gotten inside the Gootmobile,
headed for Washington D.C., where they figure they can get a brain for
Ralph. (There are many brains there that are not being used). However,
"many miles later", they come across a sign promising "Perty girls and
free beer". After much discussion, they decide to knock on the door of
the house, and a hot chick wearing a tube top invites them into the
house where "The women are hot, and the beer cold". It appears that
Ralph and Mr. Lizard have entered into the realm of another cult; but
alas, we will never know.
ALSO IN THIS ISSUE
Colorized Dr. Gorpon excerpts from No. 1 and No. 2 of the mini-series.
INTERESTING FACT
Most interesting is that this is the last issue of RSA ever published, even though
volume 5 was intended to be a twelve issue series. Obviously, there was some sort of
dispute between Marc Hansen and NOW Comics, financial or otherwise, to bring RSA to
such an abrupt and unexpected end.
Also interesting is that in later issues of other NOW Comics titles in 1993 and
1994, NOW had ads threatening to unveil a new RSA series, set in a time in
Ralph's life when he was not insane any more. Obviously, this series was to be
done by other writers and artists, but fortunately, NOW went out of business again,
and this series was never published.
AMMENDMENT
The series was continued where it left off by Marc Hansen in November, 2003 after a ten year hiatus and after getting the rights back. In February, 2004, the artwork for issues 6 and 7 of volume 5 were discovered while cleaning the old NOW Comics storage area and were published on the web in May, 2004.
