Thanks Albano. Very cool. I remember reading that comic book as a child in the fifities. I think it was distributed in schools. The best part is where the commies take Joe Kennedy's building for a government headquarters: the Chicago Merchandise Mart. It ranks right up there with the classic fright film "Reefer Madness." But on the heels of two world wars, people in the US were genuinely frightened by the expansion of communism in Asia and Europe. Perhaps needlessly, but it's understandable. That people can't get over it today is not understandable. Paul
