sfcityduck Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) Was going through a box and stumbled across this. A little jarring given current events. Putin, the ex-Soviet KGB Agent and still a kleptocrat, sucks. Sad that these covers are again relevant, but it appears necessary we remember these again: Edited March 2, 2022 by sfcityduck Dr. Love, Randall Dowling and Raze 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I included some interiors. To me this is a severely underrated GA funny book. The great thing is there are lots of copies around (over 84 graded) while it tops out at 9.4 on the census. Making attractive copies quite affordable. It's got some crazy stuff going on: Flag Burning Cover, Communists taking over America, lady being choked. Interior content around Race Wars, Presidential Assassination, Food Shortages in America, Concentration/Work camps in America., and more insane stuff. It's nuts. Take a look inside... Spoiler And so begins our cautionary tale. “The story is sad… the end tragic.” Communist Jones lays out his diabolical plan: take advantage of the drought that is besieging the country. Use the crisis as a means to seize power. First, Communist Jones’ head of propaganda, Brown, gets to work. He starts by making Americans hate each other’s guts. He sends moles into various clubs and workplaces to infiltrate and start division and dissension. Brown can rely on Hollywood to corrode American morals. The respect for life will have to also be squashed. And, of course, Brown knows he has the media in his back pocket. Naturally, the workers need to grow to resent the rich capitalists. And a race war is essential to any Commie takeover. And so, there is murder in the streets. White vs. Black, Labor vs. Capitalists,.. the American populace is divided and at each other’s throats. At last, the time was right for Communist Jones to make his move. He has found an ally in Washington DC – the Speaker of the House, Collins. First, he needs to get the president and vice-president out the way. As “luck” would have it, it has been arranged for the president and vice-president to appear together in a parade. It would be a shame if anyone threw a grenade at them… Of course, this makes Collins the new president. Communist Jones props him up to be the hero we deserve, beating the drought. Collins is weak, and easily hands over much of his power to Communist Jones. Communist Jones gathers the top generals together and has them wasted. Now there is no one to stand in the way of his plans. Communist Jones nationalizes everything, and ensures the schools are under his thumb. Book burning time. And, finally, it’s time to take our guns and kill the Catholics. Anyone who doesn’t fall in line is sent to Alaska… Finally, Communist Jones is delivering his victory toast when this happens… mstrange, grebal, Raze and 10 others 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 It's been decades since I'd read this comic. Communist Jones would have been a great name for someone in one of those kid group strips from WW2, added when Stalin became an ally. A red headed kid who was always spouting off Marxist dogma as they gunned down Nazis, but once they were back at the clubhouse, the tough kid, Gaspipe, would tell him "Ah, shaddup already!"

I remember buying one off ebay circa 2002-3 for like $35 or so, and the dealer haphazardly sent me a different issue of Mystic and said they couldn't find the #18. LOL! I think I got this one in 2009, and it's an issue I always watch for. The bump in price has drawn out more copies, but it's still reasonably tough. mikefeen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
