I don't mind disagreeable politics in my fiction so long as the fiction itself is enjoyable. So I definitely will check out DKR once I have some money to spend.
I'll add to keep in mind the era that Miller wrote DKR (and later, Martha Washington) in.

quote:

But are Miller and Dixon alone? We all know Fox News and their assorted assholes love to rant on about how the liberals control everything but it does seem to me like comic books might indeed be a predominantly liberal or Left Wing industry.
Ditko is the obvious example (hard Randian, at least back in the day). Willinghelm was mentioned. Of the little I've read of early Hate I'm inclined to say Bagge, but again, era and I could be totally off. Generally though I don't think there are many creators who both have what would be considered "fully right-wing" beliefs and also inject that into comics. Like, is Dave Sim even right wing? He has (or had) some severely bad thoughts on women, and the end of Cerebus indicated that extended further into his weird religion, but he could be a rabid socialist environmentalist and pro-gay marriage provided it's only dudes.
