Grenada: The Comic Book
2005-11-08
Some Leftie up in Austin found a copy of a 1984 CIA comic book and put it up on the web. He seems not to like the fact they called Fidel a commie murderer. Go figure. Comic book is cool, though. I linked it at the title and the link in the post.

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.

#3  Nope. I used to live near a comic shop, and I ended up with a nice collection of mid- to late-80s Nexis and Badger and a solid set of Mai the Psychic Girl and Team Yankee and Jonny Quest. (My tastes, while eclectic, were also decidedly out of the mainstream.) Moved to a different town with no nearby shop and fell out of the comic book habit.

#2  Nexis? Man, you are a comic fan from back in the day! Have you read the new Grimjack?

#1  It's no Spider-Man or Nexis, but I kinda liked it. Beats hell out of Love & Rockets or Archie, anyway.
