The Battle of Cable Street. On 4 October 1936 Mosley tried to march his blackshirts through the East End, by concentration the most Jewish area in the world. The gov't refused to ban it. The Jewish press counseled calm. The Communist Party refused to assist, not wanting to be seen as hooligans.

These two self-portraits really drive home the point that John Romita is for admirers of the form and Herb Trimpe is for the sickos.

More clearly than ever, it's Socialism or Barbarism. We either commit to the labor of solidarity, working collectively for the betterment of all, or we accept submission to the arbitrary brutality of unjust authority.

I am now imagining a Rocky Horror style showing of LOTR where instead of singing and dancing, it is a participatory reading of the IMDB trivia page.
