If you redrew and posted half the panels from Jack Kirby's Forever People or Jimmy Olsen and claimed they were from modern comics conservatives would spend an hour lamenting how political comics have become.

#dc comics #dccomics #Jack Kirby #Kirby said “The evil god's goons are Walt Disney. An Evangelical. And a billionaire media mogul and the heroes are hippies and beatniks”.#There's actual a lot of political analysis being done by Kirby about how fascism would come to the US through an Evangelical Christians her #And also a conversation about how any large theme park would have to involve the suffering of the working classes to hold up the facade.#Darkseid #Gordon Godfrey #Glorious Godfrey #Also that one Kamandi issue where Gorilla's use the Nixon Tapes as a sci-fi execution device.#New Gods #Forever People #I'm not saying that Morgan Edge is criticism being levied at Rupert Murdoch... but...#I am saying that this comic was released in the early 1970s after Murdoch had begun to gain traction and was expanding into the US.#My point is that every Jack Kirby comic is incredibly political because Kirby was political.#Kirby was a Jewish Artist who fought in WWII and you want to claim he had no political opinions?
