Description

Whenever I run across a Twin Earth strip that I can buy for reasonable price I will almost always buy it.

The big draw is Al McWilliams art, he was an incredible artist and I think his work is absolutely top notch.

The second draw is the actual strip itself. The daily was a more sophisticated science fiction strip and the Sunday was set up to appeal to younger readers as our two erstwhile kids from Earth travel in space having adventures of all kinds.

Now judging the strip on our hopefully more enlightened sensibilities some may find the portrayal of Indigenous Americas as unflattering or racist. But I refuse to judge something from 1956 on today's attitudes. This was catering to the current culture as opposed to being purposely negative to a group of people. Instead I enjoy the art.
