"The Mongol Bloodsuckers" 0

[Sarg]

Is anyone familiar with a golden age story under this name? I found a reference to this in a book published in London in 1954 entitled "Ambassador's Report" by Chester Bowles, page 297. It's a story in which a "superman character" fought "half-human, colored Mongolian tribesmen who had been recruited by the Communists to raid American hospitals in Korea and drink the plasma in the blood banks."  

Bowles was US Ambassador to India, 1951-53.

"In Asia it is impossible to explain such things away by pointing out that it is pure fantasy."

Thank you for your expertise. They also offended the Vikings!

It might be an interesting exercise to compile a thread of all non-SOTI book references to "bad" comics from the pre-code era. Has anyone ever done that?

I don’t have a CMA 140 anymore but I remember the story. That’s got to be it.
