Speed Comics #35 (Not to be confused with Uppers Adventures or Tales of the Amphetamine)

I’ve spent the last few years divesting myself of my gargantuan comics collection – I’ve dropped from 15,000 comics to eleven, so you know I’m serious. If I ever did take up collecting again, though, I think I’d have to make the theme of my collection Comic Book Covers Where Whoa Damn Too Much Shit Is Going On Seriously Now.




What I don’t get about this cover is what the Girl Commando down in the bottom right hand corner is doing with that rifle. Was she trying to break the winch? Because if she did, you know, *bloop* goes the Black Cat right into the acid. “Like I even care,” I imagine her saying, “Bitch dresses like a whore.” *smash*

One boy gets a machine gun, one boy gets a slingshot. Girl gets a rifle and promptly breaks it against a winch which, by design, has a freaking stop-latch. Hhhhhhhhhhhhngh.

I really like how young Lex Luthor is all I am totally nailing these guys with my sling-shot. Next: becoming evil.

Of course, it's the work of Alex Schomburg, king of busy covers! Looks almost like one of his Young Allies covers for Timely/Marvel... complete with a Captain America ripoff, the kid in the bottom left looking just like Knuckles of the Young Allies ... and "Japanese" soldiers with green skin?
