Vol. 1 #3 - Anti-Soviet Propaganda: An Iron Curtain Call for the Justice League
from Collective Action Comics · host Collective Action Comics
It's pretty convenient that all of the enemies of the United States happen to be very strong and also very weak at the same time, right? It's also pretty cool that they're definitely not normal people like we are, because they all like the same things and have no opinions, agency, or autonomy. Or is that...us? In this episode, your host discusses some primo examples of American media flailing between panic and patronizing "our" most hated enemy and how the Justice League of the 1980's and its readers were the trickle-down victims of that dissonance. There's also some sweet-ass missiles.
