In the realm of comic books, there's a rich tradition of championing democracy over autocracy and battling prejudice. 📚
Take for instance, the iconic image of Captain America in his debut issue, landing a punch on Adolf Hitler's jaw, months before the U.S. joined World War II. 🥊
Or consider Wonder Woman, who not only fought against the patriarchy, but also stood up against authoritarianism and Nazism.
These stories, while set in alternate histories, have always been more than just tales of heroism. They've served as powerful what-if narratives, akin to Orwell's 1984, Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower, or Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. 🚀
These stories are designed to ring alarm bells about threats to our democracy and equality, acting as cautionary tales and calls to action.
As Alan Jenkins hopes, may this tradition continue to inspire and educate us about the importance of standing up against injustice and fighting for what's right.
