Comic Book Nation: The Transformation of Youth Culture in America posted:Published from 1951 to 1956, Quality Comics’ T-Man was among the more enduring anticommunist titles and probably the only comic book ever to feature the adventures of a U.S. Treasury agent. A T-Man story published in late 1951 opens in Teheran at a meeting between British diplomats and an Iranian official, in which the participants are about to conclude a treaty granting Great Britain and the United States exclusive rights to Iranian oil production. The Iranian leader tells the Englishman that he is happy to give away these rights because the British and Americans have demonstrated that they respect Iranian laws and customs. Suddenly he is interrupted by someone who appears to be U.S. Treasury agent Pete Trask, who bursts into the room, throws a squealing pig at the Iranian official, and says, “Here rag-head! Take this little fellow home and barbecue him for breakfast!” The agent then flees, having effectively sabotaged the treaty. Outraged by this deliberate (and extraordinarily absurd) insult to Islamic customs, the Iranian leader cancels the treaty. Later it is revealed that this ruse was the work of a Soviet agent disguised as Trask, who is trying to poison relations between Iran and the West. Inevitably, the real Pete Trask sets matters straight and ensures that the treaty is signed. In this tale, obviously inspired by the recent overthrow of the anti-Western Mossadegh government in Iran, Communism is once again contained and the United States and Great Britain win exclusive rights to Iranian oil. What Iran stands to gain from this is unclear and, apparently, unimportant.

I wish I could find the whole thing, because after the whole pig tossing bit and the guy claiming he's from the US treasury dept and jumping out the window, the Iranian guy shoots the American ambassador a "what kind of loving clownshow are you running here" look instead of what was obviously intended to be a furious snarl and it made me laugh really hard.

Also didn't they try to poison him so that his beard would fall out and thus the Cuban people wouldn't know who he was anymore or something?

I guess even they realize those actions were super racist. Unlike today where you'd probably have a lot of right wingers applauding it.

There are gun companies who sell bullets that have been dipped in pig's blood, because if you shoot a Muslim with ordinary bullets he'll simply fly back to his coffin and regenerate over the course of a single day's sleep.

The CIA in the 50s and 60s was where the Ivy Leaguers who didn't have the brains or connections to work on Wall Street or inherit daddy's billions went. They were still silver-spoon bluebloods, just not the sort who ended up having their last names put on buildings (with the exception of Dulles, and it wasn't Allen Dulles who got the airport named after him). Case in point: James Angleton, who was half-Latino and was never allowed to forget it.

Wonder if there's an alternate universe where Joe Kennedy Jr. survived WWII and Jack ended up in the CIA.
