It must be so weird to have grown up AFTER Reagan destroyed unions, environmental laws, blew up the deficit, got away with Iran/Contra, “Welfare queens’ and all the rest of it.
If all you’ve ever heard is the outrageous Republican propaganda about him, it may be hard to understand why so many of us viscerally despise him and his entire legacy.
He didn’t end the Cold War. That is such a giant fucking lie. He didn’t show up with his cowboy costume and shake his mighty ‘Murican fist at the Commies to make them surrender, but holy shit if you listen to right wing Boomers, they’ll tell you that’s exactly what happened.
Fuck Reagan. Fuck EVERYONE who voted for him, especially in 1984.I puke in my mouth everytime I hear one of those yankee-doodle dipshits talk about what a great president he was. He was an empty suit with a hate-boner for punching down on anyone who’s views were slightly left of Archie Bunker. He was 10 pounds of hateful, thieving, racist, traitorous shit stuffed in a 5 pound bag & wrapped in the flag. The Reagan era was the beginning of the end for America.
I hear this shit all the time. The cult of personality around this guy is immense. Every person I know who lived through his regime all say the same thing: He made me feel good! He spewed a bunch of nationalistic bullshit that distracted people from all the fucked up stuff he did at home and abroad. No one’s situation improved, if anything it worsened, but he made them feel good. Proud to be Americans.
When you have a broken leg, morphine makes you feel good. It does not improve your situation but it makes you feel good.
Its especially easy when you deregulate media outlets, consolidate media into the hands of a few billionaires who promote you as the new Jesus because you cut their taxes and let them create monopolies, so they can turn said media outlets into propaganda mills to create your legend.
Reagan was a failed cowboy actor who was recruited as an informant by the FBI (because they love recruiting rejects and losers) who named names during the 50s Red Scare. That’s how he got where he is in life. Being a snitch bitch.

The always excellent Reed Crandall drew this cover of Captain Triumph versus a really wicked-looking werewolf!
Captain Triumph was Quality Comics’ answer to Superman. When Lance Gallant rubbed the T-shaped birthmark on his wrist the spirit of his deceased twin brother, Michael, entered his body, and they become the super-powered Captain Triumph!! The hero was endowed with near-limitless invulnerability, flight, invisibility, and limited super-strength. He later gains the ability to change his size and appearance.
Captain Triumph, like all Quality Comics characters, was purchased by DC Comics when Quality went out of business. However, like most of the Quality crew, Captain Triumph languished in comic book limbo. He had brief cameo appearances in All-Star Squadron, but that title was cancelled before writer Roy Thomas got a chance to utilize him.
The only real significant appearance Captain Triumph had was in the 4-issue Elseworlds series The Golden Age. Writer James Robinson and DC editorial disagree as to whether or not that story is canon, but it’s still a great read and worth tracking down.
The captain did make a couple of appearances in different DC books later on, but those are best left unmentioned and forgotten.
