The more things change...

Boing Boing dug up a gem from the Golden Age of Comics, T-Man. The protagonist is a United States Treasury official. In this scene, T-Man breaks up a meeting between diplomats signing an exclusive oil deal between the United States, England and Iran, by punching the American diplomat in the face and throwing a pig at the Iranian. Un-PC terms like "raghead" abound.

Did I mention he was the hero?

Sweet Jesus, this reads more like a Chick tract than anything else. I wonder if T-Man converted any of the peripheral characters, sinking them to the ground as they covered their face and begged for the mercy that only the precious, precious blood of Jesus could offer.
