Calling Captain America!
A new comic book series aimed at young conservatives envisions a dark liberal dystopia

-SNIP-

But have no fear! A new comic series bearing the unwieldy title ''Liberality for All" is coming out in October from ACC Studios, a recently formed one-man publishing venture in Kentucky. Advertised as ''an Orwellian nightmare of ultra-liberalism," the series features radio pundits Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, and Oliver North as biomechanically tricked-out members of a conservative underground resistance called F.O.I.L. (the Freedom of Information League). Writer and creator Mike Mackey, an affable comic book aficionado, says it's the conservative movement's first comic book series (unless you count the three 1987 issues of the exquisitely low-camp ''Reagan's Raiders") and the only series put together specifically for a right-wing audience. (A story synopsis and sample panels are online at accstudios.com).

1. "Conservatism" has now officially jumped the shark. That is all.

[CatWoman]

2. What next? The Tick will date Ann Coulter?

:rofl:

Harvey Birdman and Peanut in a menege a trois with Guckert?

:rofl:

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. no , no the Tick and Batman and superman , and Captain

America are traitors, what yuo missed the memmo? I can already see this as floping but being funded anyways, and getting a nice booth at Comic Con

[Fridays Child]

8. Great idea. The Tick dates the human cockroach.

[Straight Shooter]

6. Does Hannity look like that? In his dreams!

:rofl:

And of course Liddy needs something between his legs to make up for what ain't between his legs.

[CatWoman]

14. like this?

[gatorboy]

21. Sweet Jumpn' Moses!!!

MY EYYEEESSSSS!!!! They BUUURRRRNNNNNN!!!!

[Greylyn58]

28. OMG!!!!!

:spray: :spray: :spray:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Richard Steele]

22. Oh dear lord! I SOOOO didn't need to see that!

[CatWoman]

23. bwahahahahahaha

sweet dreams tonite :D

[Old and In the Way]

24. Isn't there a law against flying the flag at half mast?

There is something so very wrong with this picture...

[Cleita]

33. I didn't need to see that image.

*hides eyes*

[BreweryYardRat]

47. MY EYES!!!

THE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CatWoman]

32. actually, he looks like the character on "Speed Racer"

:D

[Cleita]

3. Oh, Gawd.

It can't get any worse, but it does!

Liddy??? Since when do ugly, bald, middle-aged guys on fake motorcycles become role models for young conservatives? I dunno. I'll take Brad Pitt any day.

[punpirate]

4. Now that's rich...

... "the Freedom of Information League."

More like S.O.P. (the Society of Propagandists). :)

[Richard Steele]

15. I guess that "Ministry of Truth" was already taken.

[holboz]

7. HA HA HA...This can't be for real, can it???

"An Orwellian nightmare of ultra-liberalism"???? If anyone suceeds at achieving an Orwellian nightmare, it's Bushit's cronies.

Thanks for a laugh on an otherwise very bleak day.

[Marr]

9. I do not understand this sort of crap.

Republicans have practically created a one party state. They've got the corporate media behind them. They've even got their own overtly Republican sub-media, like Fox News and the Washington Times.

All this, and they're STILL blaming liberals for everything that goes wrong. They're STILL playing the persecuted minority. I just don't get it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Read on treu believers and it will make sense

by the way welcome to DU

[Marr]

18. Thank you very much.

:D

[Cleita]

12. Gotta have a scapegoat while you are pillaging and raping.

When Rome burned, Nero blamed the Christians. It's convenient.

BTW, Welcome to DU.:-)

[MisterP]

16. persecution complexes are central to rightists, and old crooks in spandex

[MadeinOhio]

50. Because they are nuts and will always feel prosecuted.

And they will always blame everyone else for their disasters especially the neocons.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

10. Quick Sean! To the Gannon Cave!

Neocons and freedom of information! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[bullwinkle428]

13. Robert Smigel should sue for stealing his concept

of "The Ambiguously Gay Duo", as seen on SNL's "TV Funhouse"...

[Marr]

17. By the way-

What exactly IS "an Orwellian nightmare of ultra-liberalism"? Something like Norway? That place is running like a clock, and the standard of living is just great.

I can imagine an 'Orwellian nightmare of ultra-conservatism' without too much trouble. They make movies about one of them all the time. Lots of snazzy uniforms and Panzer tanks. But I can't picture a world where people have been crushed beneath the iron heel of decent wages, national healthcare, and civil rights.

[davekriss]

20. LOL, thank you Marr!

41. Welcome to DU, Marr.

I loved your post. Can you imagine the HORROR of a living wage? :toast:

[Ishoutandscream2]

42. Damn good post. And welcome!

[gatorboy]

19. They're missing the female member.

I suggest Ann Coulter as the shape shifter changing from man to woman. Which really shouldn't be a stretch and requires no super powers. Simply tape her dick to the crack of her ass.

And were back to the "underdog" gimmick again? Seriously, does anyone belive that anymore?? :eyes:

[Dr Fate]

36. LOL!- a must read post. n/t

[Rex]

25. It will never fly.

Repukes don't have a creative bone in their bodies! While liberal kids were off sparking their imaginations, repukes were busy throwing rocks at dogs and killing cats.

Someone call the X-men!

[Dr Fate]

37. The art is marginal. I'm not Jack Kirby myself...

...but I'd like to think I have a little soul- this sutff looks like bad animie- very unimaginative & un-dynamic poses too.

I like Chick Tracks and Steve Ditko's Charlton years (famous conservative comics)- but those samples in the link suck.

[jonnyblitz]

26. this is the funniest thing i have ever seen! LMFAO

sean hannity looks gay! this is homerotic. who ever did this is a closet case.

[stevedeshazer]

27. Jesus H. Christ, you owe me a monitor cleaning STAT.

Ohhhhhh man....

[wli]

29. a liberal response sounds like fun

Maybe something manga-ish about trying to restore a country whose government has been infiltrated by neonazis and religious psychopaths to the proper state of affairs.

[FVZA_Colonel]

35. I Completely Agree

Though I'd rather have it involve original characters and not progressive pundits.

[wli]

39. yes, we can easily trounce them on literary on artistic terms n/t

[Marr]

43. Something like this:

:D

[CatWoman]

44. Marr -- I meant to do this above

welcome to DU :hi:

[Marr]

45. Thank you. :)

[wli]

48. I had an idea of my own...

I was thinking of a sort of cross between 1984 and der Prozess where the K./Winston protagonist gets further than either toward bucking the system.

[applegrove]

30. didn't the guy on the motorcycle run NYC police force? You know the

one who lost the Terror Tzar position because of his stalking of some woman?

Correction: G. Gordon Liddy. Oh - okay - someone who has done time.

[CatWoman]

40. bernie kerik?

former ny police commissioner

[applegrove]

46. No - I was wrong. Tis G. Gordon Liddy.

wonder if they'll get a dozen readers :shrug:

peace

38. Other conservative efforts from the past:

http://www.fortunecity.com/tatooine/niven/142/politics/pol13.html

Officially beginning with the creation of Mister A, Silver Age cartoonist Steve Ditko began to present a number of works with a consistent message deriving from his own dabbling in the Objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand. But he took his own emphasis: Evil exists; Reason can identify it; and it originates through self-delusion, epistemological hedonism, wishful-thinking; and the Rational Man discards the corrupt concepts which convince him of a fatuous right to live at the expense of others, or to treat other men as property...

...Some fans describe this approach as "The Punisher meets Jack Chick." In essence, we have a small superheroic component introduced into a longer philosophical tract. Later, more mature Mister A stories integrated the costumed-adventurer story and the philosophical mini-treatise into a single piece and single form...

...Ditko picked an interesting moment in comics to, in essence, come out politically. While Marvel made a visible shift from Eisenhower-era Cold War mode to a kind of Robert Kennedy bafflement at the military morass in Indochina, Ditko shifted in another direction. Noting the advance of the noose of taxation and regulation around the American neck, he found inspiration in the curmudgeonly libertarianism of the Objectivists.

[philosophie_en_rose]

49. A conservative comic book?

I didn't know they could read. :P


There's something very ambiguous about those two characters. Hmm...
