...with this reality-bending short tale, illustrated by the legendary Wally Wood, that appeared in Peter Max Magazine #1 (1970).

Wow! How "Age of Aquarius" can you get?  ;-) 

It's a little bit off the beaten path for us, but, since it relates to stuff parents disapproved of, including implied drug use, I decided to go with it...

DOCTOR HORROR

No, not Doctor Horrible, played by Neil Patrick Harris...

...but a much weirder character who made only one appearance...but what an appearance!

If this had been produced in the 1960s, I'd say the artist had gotten some bad weed before producing the latest issue of his underground comix.
In fact, it appeared in 1941's Captain Battle Comics #2, illustrated (and probably written) by Don Rico and read by impressionable young kids throughout America!
Publisher Lev Gleason had already introduced comics' first major super-villain, The Claw, in Silver Streak Comics, and it's possible he posed the suggestion to his artists that they come up with something to top The Claw.
Or, it's possible that with a deadline looming and pages to fill, Gleason assigned Rico to come up with a story in a very brief time frame!
We'll never know the answer.
But that shouldn't stop you from enjoying this startling story!

IS THIS TOMORROW? Conclusion

We have already seen how a covert Communist plot to take control of the US could work...

Things go from bad to worse under secret Communist rule...

 That's the end of the story...for now.

The comic ends with this suggestion as to how to avoid the future of Is This Tomorrow...

If you substitute "Republican" for "Communist" and "Corporations" or "Big Business" for "the State", much of what you've just read seems frighteningly-prophetic!

We'll be back after the New Year with more weird and wild stuff.

IS THIS TOMORROW? Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

...how Communist agents could subvert America by working within the political system.
The scary thing is that, if you substitute "Republican" for "Communist" in the word balloons and captions, a number of the things shown have already happened!

More paranoia next week...
