Friday Fascist Fun UNQUOTABLE TRUMP "Subjective Comics"

From Now Until Election Day, We'll Be Presenting Examples of How Creatives See Don da Con...

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" now-convicted felon Don da Con remarked at a January 2016 campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa.

"It's, like, incredible."

"Frightening" is more like it!

Based on the cover for DC's Detectyive Comics #69 (1942) by Jerry Robinson!

Reading Room BLACK MAGIC "Man Who Captured a Ghost!"

Most people wouldn't consider our judicial system a source of horror...

...at least not the non-corporeal type of terror!

Since Kirby (and Joe Simon) were the editors/art directors for the book, it's not unreasonable to think one or the other was also the story's writer.

While Kirby is clearly the cover artist...

...the interior art for the never-reprinted, cover-featured, tale from Prize's Black Magic V2N1 (1951) seems to be a combination of his layouts, pencils by Mort Meskin, and inks by Meskin and George Roussos!

Wednesday Worlds of Wolverton MYSTIC "Devil Birds!"

Behind a somewhat deceptive (though kool) cover by penciler Christopher Rule and inker Sol Brodsky...

...lurks a tale of terror by the one and only Basil Wolverton!

Besides that there's no "Gloria" in this story from Atlas' Mystic #4 (1951), the cover-featured "Devil Bird" features only a passing resemblance to the mutated creatures in this tale...who apparently are altered from any living entity, be it bird or mammal!
This loss of our humanity, whether physical or mental, is a concept Wolverton repeats several times, particularly in his all-time classic "Brain Bats of Venus"!

Reading Room BLACK CAT MYSTIC "A Weemer is the Best of All!"

"Whimsical" is not a word you usually associate with Jack (King) Kirby...

...but in this case, it's perfectly appropriate!

Though Jack Kirby both penciled and inked (a rare occurrence) this tale from Harvey's Black Cat Mystic #59 (1957), the identity of who wrote it is unknown, but it's probably Kirby himself or ex-partner Joe Simon who was the editor of the book at Harvey Comics!

BTW, Black Cat Mystic, despite the title, was a science-fiction, not horror, comic!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "People Like This Really Exist!"

It's sad and amazing how this strip from 1990 by writer/artist Nina Paley...

...is so relevant (and accurate) today, 24 years later!

From Isis Press' Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Comic for the Anthology National Organization for Women, produced to raise money after the Supreme Court ruling of Webster V Reproductive Health Services (1989) began the re-imposition of limits to the rights of women over their own bodies!
