STOP PROJECT 2025: THE COMIC BOOK "Cronyism"

Another example of what the Stop Project 2025 comic book tried to warn you about...

...Don da Con's hand-picked cronies, specifically in Health and Medical categories, and done in the style of Topps' Garbage Pail Kids trading cards!
It was a noble effort to present the insidious Reich-Wing Project 2025, condensing over 900 pages of text into a graphic presentation broken down into 2-to-6 page categories ranging from Abortion to Taxes to War on the Working Class!
The assortment of talent was quite impressive...ranging from established writers and artists to up-and-comers with only a few professional credits so far!
Sadly, the response to the comic seems to have been minimal, despite a fairly robust on-line presence and articles in several media outlets including Forbes!
Perhaps part of the problem was that it didn't go on-line until the middle of October, only a couple of weeks before the election!
I'd like to point out I didn't know it even existed until a couple of Sundays ago, when it popped up during on-line research of the works of one of the creatives, whom I didn't know had worked on it!
Continuing through the month of March, I'll post a different medicine/science-related chapter from the book each Friday to give you a taste of the quality work done for this noble effort and to warn you of what's coming in the near future!

STOP PROJECT 2025: THE COMIC BOOK "Abortion"

Here's What Project 2025 is NOW Doing to Curb Reproductive Rights...

...as shown in this unique on-line comic! 

It was a noble effort to present the insidious Reich-Wing Project 2025, condensing over 900 pages of text into a graphic presentation broken down into 2-to-6 page categories ranging from Abortion to Taxes to War on the Working Class!

Perhaps part of the problem was that it didn't go on-line until the middle of October, only a couple of weeks before the election!
I'd like to point out I didn't know it even existed until last Sunday, when it popped up during on-line research of the works of one of the creatives!
Starting today, and continuing through the month of March, I'll post a different medicine/science-related chapter from the book each Friday to give you a taste of the quality work done for this noble effort and to warn you of what's coming in the near future!

TOPS "Anthony Comstock: Fanatical Reformer"

Is it any wonder Republicans are using the work of a puritanical, conservative con-man from the 19th Century...

...to promote and serve their anti-choice agenda in the 21st Century?







Both Federal and local Republican politicians are currently attempting to use the ancient Comstock Act's19th Century definitions of "obscene material" (which includes birth control printed information and contraceptive drugs) to prevent them from being provided to pregnant women in 2024!

Written by George Hansen and illustrated by Lee Ames, this feature from Lev Gleason's TOPS #2 (1949) presents itself as a "review" of a biography of Comstock, Anthony Comstock: Roundsman of the Lord (1927)..which praised the man!
However, where the book put Comstock on a pedestal, the comic strip savaged him, taking the material from the tome and presenting it in a historical context.
BTW, you'll note the art here is larger than we usually present.
That's because the periodical it was presented in was tabloid-sized, like Marvel and DC Treasury Editions of the 1970s and 80s and the lettering would be unreadable in our usual 525-pixel wide format.
Editor Charles Biro conceived and produced the mag as an attempt to do an "adult oriented" magazine using the comic book format.
Sadly, it only lasted two issues and either issue is incredibly hard to find!
Happily, Fantagraphics worked with noted writer/artist/historian Michael T Gilbert to produce a superb book reprinting those two issues with an astounding amount of historical material about the periodical...

CHOICES "Abortion: What Would Hippocrates Say?"

From Choices, a benefit comic produced in 1989, after the Webster V Reproductive Health Services verdict...

...when we thought that was the worst that could happen to women!

"Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it!"
Written and illustrated by William Messner-Loebs, a multi-award-winning writer/artist who would do an acclaimed run on DC's Wonder Woman a couple of years after this.

ABORTION EVE and FACTS 'O LIFE COMICS

...as legal, safe abortions were finally allowed in the United States of America!
Unfortunately, in 2022, that decision was overturned, and the Dark Ages returned to America!
Here's an example of what it was like pre-Roe V Wade...
...from Facts 'O Life Comics, published in 1972!
Do we really want that again?

Marvel Comics, The American Cancer Society and the Story So Nice, They Told it Twice!

Actually, it wasn't a "nice" tale, but we wanted an alliterative title... In 1982, Marvel and the American Cancer Society  c...
