Thanks for posting this, welcomebackpotter! Glad to see another anti-commie collector out there!

 

Esquirecomics, Harvey Dude, and I discussed this topic at length last summer and came up with a list. Unfortunately, I don't think any of us ever posted it. (shrug) I'll attempt to add to what welcomebackpotter started. Please feel free to contribute more, or to disagree with my classifications. I only own and have read some of the books listed, not all, so I may be missing something.

 

I think the following rules should be applied to determine what is included in the Anti-Communist registry set.

 

1. Main theme of the book must be Anti-Communist. There are many books where the main theme is labor/unions or atomic bombs, and they touch on anti-communism, but I believe they are a separete genre of book.

 

2. The book must be promotional in nature. Promotional comics were usually published by an organization with a clear anti-communist agenda, were most likely giveaways, and were usually one-shots. Application of this rule will exclude the many ongoing mainstream comic titles from the 1950's that were clearly anti-communist in nature (Blackhawk, T-man, and Atlas era Sub-mariner come to mind).

 

 

Anti-Communist Registry

 

- America Menaced (Vital Publications, 1950)

- America Under Socialism (1948-1950)

- Blood Is the Harvest (Catechetical Guild, 1950) - 2 versions exist, 1 color, 1 black and white

- Double Talk (Feature Publications, 1962)

- Grenada (Victims of International Communist Emissarie, 1984)

- How Stalin Hopes We Will Destroy America (Joe Lowe Co., 1951)

- If the Devil Would Talk (Catechetical Guild, 1950, 1958) - 2 printings

- Is This Tomorrow? (Catechetical Guild, 1947) - several price variants exist, and French version called "A Quand Notre Tour" that has different cover art

- Plot to Steal the World (Work and Unity Group, 1948)

- Red Iceberg (Catechetical Guild, 1960) - at least 6 variants exist

- Treasure Chest (Catechetical Guild, 1961-62, 1963-64) - Vol 17 issues with "This Godless Communism", Vol 19 issues with "Red Victim"

- Truth Behind the Trial of Cardinal Mindszenty, The (Catechetical Guild, 1949)

- Two Faces of Communism (Christian Anti-Communism Crusade, 1961) - 2 variants with different covers

- Yalta To Korea (Republic@n National Committee, 1952)

 

The following books are on the cusp of being Anti-communist. They all either touch on it or are closely related. Still, I don't think I would include any of these in the Anti-Communist registry set.

 

Atomic Bomb Themed Books

- H-Bomb and You, The (US Government, 1955)

- If An A-Bomb Falls (US Government, 1951)

 

Patriotism Themed Books

- Fight For Freedom (1949)

- It's Time For Reason, Not Treason (Liberty Lobby, 1967)

 

Labor/Union Themed Books

- Freedom or Compulsion (US Chamber of Commerce and Ohio Right to Work Committee, 1957)

- Joe Worker and the Story of Labor (Congress of Industrial Organizations, 1948-1950)

- Labor Is a Partner

 

Anti-Nazi Themed Books

- Comic Cavalcade: Tomorrow the World (DC Comics, 1945)

- Hansi: The Girl Who Loved the Swastika (Spire Christian Comics, 1973, 1976) - 39c and 49c versions exist

- There Are No Master Races (Public Affairs Committee, 1943)

 

I echo the request for an Anti-Commie registry. I would not be at all opposed to including ALL of the books identified by Fury above. I think they are close enough to be included.

 

Of course, I think I have them all and I'm not sure if Fury does which is why he doesn't want them included. :makepoint::baiting:

 

BTW, who gave Gemma permission to go on vacation!!!! :pullhair::grin:

 

Hi Gemma, hope you had a great vacation!!!

 

Any sense as to when this set will be listed? :popcorn:

Hello,

I just started using the Registry. This tool is great and I can't believe it's free. Now then, is it possible to have the following titles added:

Marvel title "Alias" (Jessica Jones)

DC 52 Diamond variant issue 52

Image Gen 13, specifically the Chromium Edition

Dreamwave Transformers Generation 1 Retailer Incentive

 

 

Thank you.

I'm not sure all of the titles that will end up there, but Gemma does have "Batman: The Killing Joke (and other one-shots) (#0, etc)" on the list coming up soon on the to-be-added list.

I request either a stand-alone Superman Family registry set of issues 164 to 222 or an addition of these issues to the Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen registry set. Thank you.
