Pointed Political Commentary

Posted by Dorian in Archie, vintage

From Madhouse Comics #102, Archie’s “monster-humor” book which used to be a comic about a band and their wacky adventures.

And that’s about as close as we’re going to get to an explicit political statement in an Archie comic; those darn liberals are so soft on crime a super-hero couldn’t do his job in today’s society.
This is from 1976, mind you…

Any comment containing a variation of "you forgot" or "uhm, actually" will be deleted and your ISP will go to the comment black-list.

Feel free to reblog pictures on your Tumblr, but would it kill you to make sure to at least add a "via" link back to the original?

If, God forbid, you spot a typo, the "contact" button is right up there and you can e-mail me about it, instead of complaining about it in the comments.
