Here's all the freakin Odyssey I need

In the made-up world of Times political coverage, "criticism" is a serious obstacle to progress.

New York Times sub-headline: Britain's new prime minister, Andy Burnham, promised policies that would give people financial "breathing space." His opponents are already doling out criticism.

Cordell and Dale, two of the best schools in the Iby League. (Action Comics #4, 1939. Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster.)

A college football coach says to two seedy characters, "If I don't win the game against Cordell University, it means I lose my position as coach at Dale"

"Children found special satisfaction in Superman, a fantasy adult wholly unlike other adults, perfect in his childlike purity, who wields amazing powers to undo wrongness in the grown-up world and who treats the doing like play."

Superman runs along an elevated power line, carrying the frightened "Alex Greer, the slickest lobbyist in Washington." Action Comics #1, 1939

Head shot of Commissioner Gordon, saying: "Washington, the Wright Brothers, Lincoln, Edison, and others, they were 'meddlers' too--who proved their theories. They made sacrifices so that we might enjoy the security and comfort we do. The Batman has done that, too!"

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #12, 1967. Manny Stallman, story and art.

A man in a green suit with a mustache and glasses casts a judgmental gaze on a defeated blond neo-Nazi. He says, "Whea bothers me, Raven, is their ages. Many of these sick swine are too young to be Nazis as we have known them!"

Blue-cowled super-hero Raven replies, "That's one of the reasons we must always be vigilant... As long as democracy is something special to us..."

Raven in his blue costume flies into an urban sunset, thinking: "The institutions of free government must be jealously guarded. Panic serves only the enemy. Reason and truth are the dancing flames of liberty's torch." CAPTION: "The END" From T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents #14, 1967. Story and art: Gil Kane.

And his 50s horror covers…

Horrific, a 50s horror comic, cover by Heck showing a close-up of a man with an agitated expression and a bullet hole in the middle of his forehead.

Fifty years ahead of it's time, the tabloid one-shot Superman Salutes the Bicentennial griftingly followed a two-page Superman vignette with Tomahawk reprints from the 50s.

Superman Salutes the Bicentennial cover. Superman poses in front of a stars-and-stripes shield, an eagle perched on his bicep. Art by Fred Ray, reprinted from Superman #14 (1942).

Tomahawk splash by Fred Ray. We're on a ship. Soldiers in revolution-blue uniforms (they're British-red in the story) point guns at guys dressed as pirates trying to climb aboard. Tomahawk and young Dan Hunter swing in on ropes like Batman and Robin.

Washington Post trying to talk America into keeping inequality where it is.

Under a picture of an English corner shop, the headline "Lower inequality does not guarantee better democracy."

After Captain America's costume inspires Ben Franklin's (!) design of the American flag, Cap is stupefied by the time paradox and kind of pissed off. Captain America's Bicentennial Battles, 1976, Jack Kirby story & art, Herb Trimpe inks.
