midcentury red scare comic has soupçon of legitimate criticism of the USSR (a low bar to clear), but it's just coated in so much McCarthyism as to make those critiques easy to lump into the clownishness of the rest of it

Also in retrospect it's projecting harder than Stardust.

imo it's obviously riffing on the installation of communism in Eastern Europe after WW2, but jumping right in with the premise that before the comic even begins communists control Congress, the media, clubs, trade unions, Hollywood, and all major American cities immediately elevates it into the realm of absurdity.

I do worry, however, that it may tire of coexisting with such a lifeless individual as myself. You may think it's foolish to worry about an inanimate object having complex negative feelings about me, but when my fish ran away from home, I became ready to accept anything.

Honestly, if I was a Grade-A Racketeer I’d probably call it quits when Stardust came to earth. Just not worth the risk, imo.

Yeah seriously. I'd be listening to the radio and after the first minute of the announcer breathlessly listing his abilities and powers and invulnerabilities I'd just be like "guess I'm going legit now, see you all in hell"

I've been posting in the CCCC Webcomics thread and just realized this thread is kind of the same thing, so I thought I might post here too.

I've been working on Blasphemous Saga Fantasy for the past 12 years and hope to see it through to the end (ideally, the end is not another 12 years away because holy poo poo). I promise you that whatever you're expecting from the title alone is not what it's like. If you've been following the CCCC thread you've seen this all before, so I apologize if this feels redundant for you but at least you get to see the Slime King again.

I forget the exact details, but is this from around the time Archie had a weird offshoot into Christian comics? Maybe it was the entire line, but I was thinking they got split off to do that.

So for people who are just learning about Stardust, this is a panel from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen where they encounter Stardust encased in ice. Stardust's creator, Fletcher Hanks, was a violent alcoholic who terrorized his family and his meanness is all over his comics. The real Hanks froze to death asleep on a park bench.

Yep! That's exactly what this was. Most of their stuff was "peace, love, true hippies love Christ And His Message" but this one was straight out "only by a Christian path shall a society survive" which makes it super weird.

This is a story telling tactic where you scream the exposition at someone angrily. That way you only have to draw increasingly angry faces, and it seems exciting. I call it Scream-position. (Note, do not actually go with this author's note.)
