anyone know what this is from?
"Judgement Day" by EC Comics. From wikipedia:
The story depicted a human astronaut, a representative of the Galactic Republic, visiting the planet Cybrinia inhabited by robots. He finds the robots divided into functionally identical orange and blue races, one of which has fewer rights and privileges than the other. The astronaut decides that due to the robots’ bigotry, the Galactic Republic should not admit the planet. In the final panel, he removes his helmet, revealing himself to be a black man.
Apparently the Comics Code Authority tried to prevent the author from making the main character black.
Boy did they! It took the writer (and the company) threatening the CCA with a lawsuit and telling the guy to fuck off (literally) to get this thing printed:
Comic Historian Digby Diehl recounted in Tales from the Crypt: The Official Archives:
This really made ‘em go bananas in the Code czar’s office. ‘Judge Murphy was off his nut. He was really out to get us’, recalls [EC editor] Feldstein. ‘I went in there with this story and Murphy says, “It can’t be a Black man”. But … but that’s the whole point of the story!’ Feldstein sputtered. When Murphy continued to insist that the Black man had to go, Feldstein put it on the line. ‘Listen’, he told Murphy, ‘you’ve been riding us and making it impossible to put out anything at all because you guys just want us out of business’. [Feldstein] reported the results of his audience with the czar to Gaines, who was furious [and] immediately picked up the phone and called Murphy. ‘This is ridiculous!’ he bellowed. ‘I’m going to call a press conference on this. You have no grounds, no basis, to do this. I’ll sue you’. Murphy made what he surely thought was a gracious concession. ‘All right. Just take off the beads of sweat’. At that, Gaines and Feldstein both went ballistic. ‘Fuck you!’ they shouted into the telephone in unison. Murphy hung up on them, but the story ran in its original form.[18]
You know, it’s times like this that I am deeply comforted, knowing that history isn’t just everyone being nice and polite and better than the current generation. Sometimes it really is just people bellowing swear words over the phone to get shit done.

How do you and Marian pull off long distance?
She lives a block away from me. It is…the best. 
Heyo. In that Bryan Lee O'Malley Inkstuds interview, you said something along the lines of American cartoonists making short stories in their fundamental years then get sucked into a series for the rest of their life. My question is do you plan on making m
Yeahh, that is my big plan actually. I’m gonna finish this next chunk of Warheads and then do some shorts (including Warheads shorts)
the next thing I wanna draw after Warheads is a 60 something page thing called Elephant. that I was gonna do as a Dark horse presents story but then decided that I wanted to do a lot more with it than the 8 page stories of that book allows for.

Book cover redesign for Sci-Fi/Fantasy class! I did The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which is neither sci-fi nor fantasy, whoops. Here’s the cover-only version, the wraparound version, and a mock-up of how it would look on a book.
Oh cool. I wish more books had covers this good.
