Antifar 08/18/19 12:57:29 PM #1:	https://www.newsweek.com/maus-marvel-comics-donald-trump-orange-skull-fascism-art-spiegelman-1454832 Cartoonist Art Spiegelman, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his graphic novel Maus, withdrew his introduction to a new Marvel comics collection after its publisher insisted he remove a description of Donald Trump as "Orange Skull," drawing a comparison between the president and Captain America's fascist enemy, the Red Skull. In an introduction commissioned by publisher the Folio Society for its upcoming collection, Marvel: The Golden Age 1939-1949, Spiegelman described how dire threats like the Great Depression and the rise of Nazism inspired Jewish artists and writers to create the first superheroes, or godlike "secular saviors." Spiegelman concluded his essay by drawing a parallel to the resurgence of far right politics in the modern era. "In today's all too real world, Captain America's most nefarious villain, the Red Skull, is alive on screen and an Orange Skull haunts America," Spiegelman wrote. The Folio Society asked Spiegelman to remove the Orange Skull reference from the essay, claiming Marvel Comics was trying to remain "apolitical" and wouldn't allow its publications to take political stances. In response, Spiegelman pulled the introduction and will instead write on the subject in an essay to be published in The Guardian on Saturday. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:926223916] in Maus autho...

It's part of the reason they often call him Cap for short and why the movies and comics go out of their way to have him disown any sense of jingoism or patriotism. Personally, I find it necessary to do so. It'd be like having Batman explain that he's not a bat. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:926224412] in Maus autho...
