Trigger warning for racial slurs

( Scan under the cut... )

I, as a white, gay, privileged guy feel rather embarrassed about posting this a tribute to a genuinely remarkable lady of colour, who set her own standards and made her own rules, who went through things I can't even imagine, and handled them with more élan than I could ever hope to.

As such there are discussions of race and usage of outdated terms involving race below the cut, just thought that was worth a mention from the outset.

Do you miss Eclipse Comics? I certainly do. Let's lookl at the first issue of Eclipse Monthly, their first color anthology comic.

Three pages each of four ten-page stories, and two pages of a six-page story. WARNING: "Dope" is an adaptation of an early Sax Rohmer story, and has period racism.

( Back to 1983. )

Barry is lauded as the first modern action hero in comics.

His arch villain, Fang Gow, was yet another Fu Manchu-styled stereotype. The plots and side characters could have easily been lifted from the pages of Sax Rohmer's Fu Manchu.

Atomic Comics reprinted 12 of their adventures with new art by Leo O'Mealia. With World War II over negative Chinese stereotypes were deemed usable again. See his reprinted adventures from Atomic Comics #1 below.

( Who is he? What is he? )Read more about Barry and Gow here. Plus to random pages from the original run. Leo O'Mealia's art is a bog improvement in my opinion.

From a time in the mid-90s when the only way someone in DC could make a Western was to tie it in to a superhero franchise, there comes... the Kents!
( Trigger warning: Racism )

Today is Remembrance Sunday, traditionally the day to honour those in the military who have fallen in wars throughout the world, and throughout the years.

And I recently came into ownership of a fascinating collection, "The Dandy - 1937 to 2012" a collection from 75 years worth of a single British comic (For those in the UK, it's available from WH Smith and I thoroughly recommend it).

The Dandy is about to cease publication and move to an entirely online platform, which makes me a sad icon_UK, but such is life.

I'll be posting more from it in the weeks ahead, but for now a couple of these seem apt for the day, since as part of that 75 year span was, of course, World War II.

I've added the trigger warning for racism, since the depiction of Germans within may be considered to be tasteless.

( Some wartime stereotypes under the cut )

( And how it was looked back from the 1960's )

In Today's segment, we take a look at the time Superman used timetravel to screw over a Native American who had a legitimate claim to the land Metropolis is built on...

Triggerwarning for old timey racism.

I was originally going to have an entry based entirely around the more unpleasant out of context Archie moments, but since people might get the wrong idea, I've decided to go this way instead.
( Possibly trigger warning for racism, but mostly for stupidity and lies )

You may remember way back when I mentioned I had exactly two Mexican comic books? This is the other one, "La Bestia (Roja)" #6 March 17. 1986.

I have not looked this up on Wikipedia, and the translation is slapdash (but took a fair while anyhow.) As near as I can make out, Fernando Rivero works for US military intelligence investigating drug trafficking. His wife and children were recently killed in a fire meant for him, but he escaped with only hideous facial scars. As a result, Fernando wears a special mask that hides the scarring, allowing him to go among normal people.

Warning: The ten pages of thirty-two I've chosen have some Punisher Max-level violence, and racism.

( They don't call him The Beast for his chest hair. )

OK, so the work on this primer kind of got away from me, mea culpa. But I now have it complete up to the current "The Culling" crossover arc.

In Part 1, we saw how Yera was duped into impersonating Shrinking Violet for months on end, during which time "Vi" secretly married Colossal Boy. Yera was exposed, Vi was rescued, Gim and Yera decided to stay married, and all was on track for them all to live happily ever after.

But first, they gotta tell Gim's parents...

( in a story called 'Guess What's Coming to Dinner?' No, really. )

And you can tune in to Legion Lost for more Chameleon Girl, now that The Culling is wrapping up!

Hillman Publications was one of the smaller publishers of its day, dabbling in comics among other ventures. It's best known now for its aviation comics, and especially Airboy.

But this post features a truly obscure publication, "Joe College Comics". It's teenage romantic comedy hijinks in the tradition of Archie, but with slightly older protagonists.

Fair warning and trigger warning: The cover story heavily relies on ethnic stereotypes of Native Americans outdated even in the 1950s, and some subversions of same for comedy. Because of that, I am placing the cover under the cut as well. This story is a product of its time and uses slang and loaded words that are not acceptable by today's standards. It's also kind of sexist.

Joe College Comics, Winter 1950, is in the public domain, so the following story may be brought to you in its entirety.

( These fellows aren't looking to scalp tickets )

Next time I'll be posting something a little more in line with what you've come to expect from me.

I don't think explosives work that way...(Warning: This is not a paper scan and can be hard to read. Bonus Warning: It is a World War II comic, and it has racism of the "really, comic book? ugh." kind.)
( Military Comics #20 July 1943 )
