Reading Room WORLD OF SUSPENSE "Men in Glass"

This tale is about a recent immigrant to our shores...
...and how his actions have consequences for both the United States...and the entire Earth!
The Star Spangled Banner has always been a difficult tune to sing, but who knew it could be used as a weapon?
Illustrated by Don Heck, this never-reprinted tale from Atlas' World of Suspense #5 (1956) takes the "high note can shatter glass" trope to a whole new level.
OTOH, if the aliens' helmets had been made of plastic or "transparent aluminium" or some such instead of glass, we'd all be chanting "Hail Zarki!"

Over-Sized Pop-Art Shirts!

We're expanding our line of kool kollectibles to include a line of shirts with even BIGGER image areas on the front (and where applicable) the back.
This new line of shirts has an image area of 11" wide by 17" high, plus they're made by ethically-conscious American Apparel and Anvil KnitWear!
Among the designs at this new location are Flesh (NOT Flash) Gordon, Giant Generic Asian Monster, Only REAL Americans in Arizona! (It's NOT what you think!), two Robin Hood comic book designs, and two Kooba Kola designs, with MORE to come!
Order them a size larger than normal and use them as beachwear over your swimsuits (or as tops if you don't use swimsuits at all!)
Bookmark the page, cause we'll be adding MORE stuff regularly over the next few months...

Only REAL Americans in Arizona! T-Shirt

Well, if you take the argument to it's logical extreme, Native Americans / Amerinds were here first...EVERYBODY else was an "illegal alien"!

If you're interested in making a political / socio-economic statement with this shirt, click HERE!
(It's American Apparel! Non-sweatshop-produced!)

For the record, I'm not for any sort of amnesty for undocumented aliens.
I believe they should be registered and go thru the same legal procedures and schooling / testing as any other immigrant wanting to become a US citizen.
No shortcuts, no special privileges.
My grandparents did it by the book (including learning English, though none of them were native English speakers), and I believe anyone else who wants "in" has to do the same!

Tomorrow, back to less controversial stuff...

Illegal Alien Costume?

"Hey, I have a Green Card!"

There's been a great deal of politically-correct controversy about an "Illegal Alien" Halloween costume.
(I do note nobody from the ethnic group being portrayed has actually come forth to complain. And if they don't think it's offensive, why should anyone else?)

Personally, I think it's weird to bitch about this NOW, since we've been wearing "illegal alien" Halloween costumes for, literally, generations and nobody's complained about it before...

So, why are we glorifying this...
Illegal Alien?
Entered United States via unregistered aircraft! (Plus, no flight plan filed!)
Adopted by American couple under suspicious circumstances!
Operates under two aliases: (Clark Kent and Superman), not his birth name (Kal-El)!
Ethnicity: "Kryptonian"
I could go on and on...

So, GET A GRIP, PEOPLE!
It's a JOKE!
Humor doesn't have to be politically-correct!
(And, in fact, much of the FUNNIEST stuff ISN'T politically correct!)
