A British publisher makes a comic lionizing the awful Jeremy Corbyn

It looks like there's a publisher in the UK that's putting out a book similar to some of the efforts made in the US to fawn over former president Barack Obama, one that presents the dreadful Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn as a "hero":
In one incarnation, he is Corbyn the Barbarian, facing off against the Maydusa. In another, Corbynman leaves his “mild mannered allotment of solitude” to take on the “inter-dimensional invasion fleet of Daily Mail death drones blasting everything with their Tory food bank rays” with a rallying battle cry of “jam on!”. Just in time for the Labour party conference, an unlikely superhero is preparing to take his place alongside the likes of Spider-Man and Wonder Woman: Jeremy Corbyn.

Independent graphic novel publisher SelfMadeHero says it has received a “tsunami” of submissions since it opened its doors to comic-book creators a month ago, asking for comics on the subject of the Labour leader. Contributors to The Corbyn Comic Book, which will be launched at the Labour party conference in Brighton in September, include Guardian cartoonists Steve Bell, Martin Rowson and Stephen Collins, and comics artists Karrie Fransman and Steven Appleby, along with a host of strips from new writers and illustrators received during the open submission period.
Well this is certainly atrocious. Corbyn's a Hamas and Hezbollah supporter, and he's even supported communism and Fidel Castro (and the UK commies, in turn, supported him). He's also anti-American and anti-Israeli. What's there to celebrate about a man with such awful platforms? Unfortunately, that's the British left for you, who won't consider a better guy like Nigel Farage worthy of a comics biography or heroic figure by contrast. The only thing they thought worthy of doing with Farage was making a villain based on him for Judge Dredd. They sure know how to be cheap.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
