NEW COMICS (posted early November, 2005)


NEW!
GRENADA: RESCUED FROM RAPE AND SLAVERY - 1984 CIA COMIC BOOK

It's November and that means it's Election Season here in the US. What better way to celebrate the occasion than with an actual comic book produced and written by the CIA. How about a comic that was air-dropped during a US Invasion? "GRENADA" is just that thing. And we promise you it's the number one Real Deal. Acquired through amicable agreement with an actual recipient of the comic and former citizen of the island. This comic pulls no punches. Just look at the picture above of islanders getting their heads banged in by murderers designed to resemble Cubans. And that's just the front cover. Rape, Murder, Lies, Beatings. All tied up in a beautifully dishonest Pro-Reagan Anti-Castro message. George Bush Sr even takes time out his busy post-hurricane Humanitarian schedule to make an appearance. This comic was never meant to be read by anyone in the United States, or anyone outside the Carribean for that matter. Here it is for you, Click to read.

note: English is the national language of Grenada. The island is a former British colony.

NEW! 1947 JOHNNY SURGE Comic Book

Here's a wonderfully wayward comic I doubt you've seen or heard about. We'll all be drinking plenty of milk over the next few months and "The Story of Johnny Surge" tells the story of Johnny, a teat-clip that gave comfort to the udders of countless cows. Just look at how delighted and giddy those girls up there are, "No crawling" indeed. Absolutely nothing unintentionally sexual or perverted here at all. Click to read.

Hooked

1966 HOOKED! comic book
Drugs, marijuana, heroin, pills, prostitution, etc. Extremely graphic government produced comic about heroin addiction. Odd unknown item handed out -exclusively- at methadone clinics in NYC to recovering heroin addicts. Read it all here, scanned from one of the only five known surviving copies. Adding to the intrigue is art from the comic has now been identified as being appropriated in the the wildly perverse and influential 1960s book of insanity, the Principia Discordia.

Occasionally limited to hourly bandwidth limits.

NEW!
COMICS WITH PROBLEMS
Our new ongoing series. Newspaper comic strip characters tell us about poison and what not to drink when we're pregnant. Also, how many cigarettes it takes to give cancer to a caged bunny rabbit - and SEX SEX SEX. Many jokes to choose from, many more on the way. Four issues currently available.



And finally:


Trapped

NEW! 1951 TRAPPED! comic book
I swear I couldn't make up these titles for heroin comics. First it was Hooked! and now it's Trapped!. What's next? Slapped? Smacked? Only time will tell. But this is a nice one handed out to Columbia College students, and even referenced in the Seduction of the Innocent. Originally reprinted in the REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS trade paperback put out in the 80s but here it is for you for the first time ever in color, and scanned in from an existing copy. Did you know white Columbia College students were shooting up heroin in 1951? I didn't. Easily one of the most unexpectedly gruesome and bizarre anti-drug comics ever made. "I need a Bang and quick!"
