    After a decade of searching I unearthed a Cold War/Anti-Communist grail for my collection.

    Published in 1947, this notorious Is This Tomorrow Advance Variant surfaced at Wizard World Chicago. Very rare with only 4 known copies in existence. Overstreet says "Contains --script and art edited out of the color edition, including one page of extreme violence showing [a] mob nailing a Cardinal to a door... the two black and white copies listed... surfaced in 1979 from the [Catechetical] Guild's old files in St. Paul, Minnesota." The message printed on the cover even states that the comic "contains a number of errors that we are now correcting." The cover message goes on to solicit suggestions regarding distribution as well as how to improve the content. And the back cover message is also tantalizing: it asks for ideas on what might be included in a planned future promotional comic with the working title This Is The Answer, which would have elaborated on the alternative to communism. See image of the colour version that had 4 million copies published.
