COMIC SEGREGATION


Someone over at Soulstrut.com sent me a link to this: scans of a 1960 comic book touting then-segregationist George Wallace for Alabama governor. An interesting artifact from America's pop culture + political past. Not surprisingly, most copies of this were destroyed years ago but you can't escape the digital archive (something I will, no doubt, be saying years from now over certain Poplicks' posts).

Also check out the same site's archive of 1940s syphillis awareness posters.
