Behind the Bamboo Curtain!

Trump Reading Room LIFE STORIES OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS "Andrew Jackson"

Here's a never-reprinted bio of the President that Donnie Milhous Trump only dreams of being...
...illustrated by the one-and-only John Buscema!
Let's start with the fact Jackson was a decorated war hero, while Trump was a draft dodger.
Feel free to continue the comparisons (which go even further apart) from there...
Taken from Dell's Life Stories of American Presidents (1957) one-shot which covered every Chief Executive from George Washington to Dwight D Eisenhower, this is a brief and accurate look at "old Hickory", as he was known.
Regrettably, the writer is unknown.

SECRET HITLER...a Game for Our Time?

Max Temkin, a co-creator of Cards Against Humanity...
...is sending a copy of his newest role-playing card game, Secret Hitler, to every sitting Senator in Washington DC!
(Wonder which ones will accept the gift, which ones will send it back, and which ones will simply trash it?)
Secret Hitler is a social deduction game for 5–10 people about finding and stopping the "Secret Hitler" among them!
Players are secretly divided into two teams - liberals and fascists.
Known only to each other, the fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader.
The liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it’s too late.
Each round, players elect a President and a Chancellor who will work together to enact a law from a random deck.
If the government passes a fascist law, players must try to figure out if they were betrayed or simply unlucky.
Secret Hitler also features government powers that come into play as fascism advances.
The fascists will use those powers to create chaos unless liberals can pull the nation back from the brink of war.
Can you guess why Max thought it was relevant to the current situation in Washington DC as well as 1930s Germany?

Reading Room HOUSE OF MYSTERY "Second Death of Abraham Lincoln"

For the past couple of days, we've been presenting straightforward retellings of the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln...
...but that's about to change.
It's gonna be a looong vacation, since he screwed up his job as Abraham Lincoln by "breaking character"...one of the worst faux pas an actor can commit!
Written by Arnold Drake and illustrated by Leonard Starr, this cover-featured story from DC's House of Mystery #51 (1956) is one of several stories where people from the present become involved either in the actual assassination or recreations of it.
Be here tomorow for another comic book story about the Assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

Reading Room: ABRAHAM LINCOLN: LIFE STORY "Conclusion"

War has come to America.
But it is not America versus an invader, but brother against brother as Southern states secede and form the Confederate States of America.
The recently-inaugurated President faces a challenge no other American leader before or since has dealt with...winning a civil war and somehow reuniting both sides into one nation!
This section of Dell's never-reprinted one-shot Abraham Lincoln: Life Story (1958) was written by Gaylord DuBois, pencilled by John Buscema, and inked by Alberto Giolitti.
Go see the new Steven Spielberg-directed feature film starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Honest Abe opening all over the country tomorrow!

Reading Room: ABRAHAM LINCOLN: LIFE STORY "Part 6"

Before we continue with the Life Story of Abraham Lincoln...
...just a quick look at some of the players.
Now that we've done that, we begin telling of
The Presidency of Abraham Lincoln!
NOTE: May be considered NSFW due to reference to Black Americans as "Negroes" (which was the politically-correct term when this comic was created in 1958), so no insult or disrespect is or was meant or intended.)
Helluva guy, that Lincoln!
The end of the Civil War, and the sad conclusion of our story...
This section of Dell's never-reprinted one-shot Abraham Lincoln: Life Story (1958) was written by Gaylord DuBois, and illustrated by Alberto Giolitti, known to American comics readers as the primary illustrator of the Gold Key Star Trek comic book of the 1960s-70s.
Note: the story is over 80 pages, so it's going to run through Friday.
But it's a story worth telling, especially with a new Steven Spielberg-directed feature film starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Honest Abe currently out in limited run, so I'm going ahead and I hope you'll join me.
