Politically incorrect covers!

[BOOT]

sfcityduck, I will agree regarding how many Asian-Americans lived in the West. But then, as now, the majority of the population of the United States is not in the West. In 1939, how many Asians lived in Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, Wisconsin, etc...?

 

I AM hopeful that things won't happen like that again. The world is much smaller now. We converse with people globally now. Most likely, anyone that is reading this right now is reading something from someone not in their hometown, and maybe not even in their home country. I routinely trade collectibles with people from the former East Germany, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, and Russia. Would this have been possible forty years ago when I was a child? Not likely.

 

I think this is a wonderful thing. Even just as a collector, I have so much more access to things that I never thought possible. And yes, I am extremely optimistic about this world and all of us in it.

 

Hey PowderedH2O, thanks for the positive insight! Welcome to the Boards - hope you stick around!

Great cover! You casually throw this out with no fanfare. Is this Canadian? Can't find a listing in the Guide/Gerber/GCD. Care to share more info on this comic?

All in the best possible taste!

Speaking of men's sweat magazines then, here are scans of my entire collection of Wildcat magazines:

 

 

 

The women are flabby and out of shape by modern standards but the cover concepts are great!

There are a few where it is the women who are in charge but I havent scanned many of these yet - been stuck in boxes for years...

You just know that the guy with the saw worked in the publisher's office.

 

Great image, tho. "Surgery today, Horst. Wear your helmet."

The gorilla must be the anaesthetist I suppose.

Good to know that they took job safety seriously in the operating room in those days.

By the way, I realize these are outside the topic's boundaries, and I hope they don't violate board policy, but these are some of the most politically incorrect publications I've ever seen. (Circa about 1964.)

 

 

I hadn't realized that the Nazis were still mistreating scantily clad damsels in 1964. I thought they'd stopped doing so a full ten years earlier.

you mean women who are actually shaped like women?

some things never go out of style

Does a woman being spanked with a hairbrush by (what looks like) a dwarf in front of several applauding babies qualify as "politically correct," or just "utterly messed up"? From Sensation Comics #31:

 

 

You overlooked the bondage angle! ...

 

And the fact that WW is apparently enjoying it (and winking)

 

If you look into William Moulton Marston's personal history, the whole concept of Wonder Woman becomes a bit...disturbing.

 

Key word: Olive.

[Hepcat]

Yes, precisely. Those you can see on the street anywhere.

Great covers! The cement coffins are a new one to me!

[Doohickamabob]

Thanks Jayman. Now, here is a question for anybody who knows their way around these forums:

 

Didn't there used to be (in the General section) a forum that was full of "sexual innuendo" comic covers and panels?

 

I tried searching for numerous terms ("innuendo," "suggestive," "gladly refund your nickel" (from Archie #50), and so on) and was unable to locate the thread.

 

Was the entire thread deleted, or is it buried and I'm using the wrong search terms?

 

It was a hilarious thread, full of images like the panel in Spiderman where his aunt gets sticky stuff on her hand, or where Robin shows Batman a leather thong and says "it still has your teeth marks," or when Batman says "Papa spank!", or the Matt Baker cover where there's text balloons about the woman who knows how to "hold D'ick."

 

Just curious...

 

[Jayman]

Is this the one?

 

Double Entendre Covers

[Doohickamabob]

Is this the one?

Double Entendre Covers

 

That's got some funny stuff, but that's not the thread I was thinking of. That thread only has about 7 pages, but the one I'm thinking of had a couple dozen pages of posts (at least).

 

[Doohickamabob]

Here are a few more. After this, I'm done and we can get back to Golden Age political incorrectness, if you prefer.

 

This first one is a recent find (for about $10). The back cover is as awesome as the front cover.

 

 

I enjoy the femme-fatality of these two --

 

 

This first one is another Man's Story spin-off. The 2nd one is just, well, appealing.

 

 

So, again, does anybody know if the mods here deleted the Double Entrendre thread from the general message area? Is it possible they felt it was too racy and nixed an entire thread?
