NAACP comics from the 60s!

NAACP

These are from an unusual website called Comics With Problems, which is similar to Scott Shaw’s Oddball Comics, only it focuses more on PSA-type material. Larry Lieber (Stan Lee’s brother) is named as the artist on the first comic; it doesn’t say who wrote it – and it does have the feel of Silver Age Marvel. The second one is drawn by a brother named Tom Feelings, who had quite the career. They’re both hilariously simplistic parables designed to get out the black vote, but they’re worth looking at for the historical value. (Check out the rest of the CWP site, too – there’s a Fat Albert comic and a very rare pro-segregation comic featuring George Wallace!)
