Today in Comics History, April 9, 1865: Even the biggest Confederate General of 'em all admits it: "We lost."


from "The Gentleman from Virginia: Robert E. Lee" in Real Heroes #7 (Parents' Magazine Pess, November 1942), creators unknown

Oh cool! Robert E. Lee knows what he must do! Next panel: he commits harakiri and throws himself upon his sword!


Aw man, it's just only surrender? That's apt to cause a lot of problems further down the line.


Personally, I specifically blame Parents' Magazine Press for spotlighting Robert E. Lee in their popular comics Real Heroes, when they should have been cover-featuring him on its competing magazine Total Losers.

In a strange coincidence, someone on a comics forum I frequent praised this very story for its "sane treatment" of "one of the most honorable men in history," someone we should all study and respect instead of buying "woke dogma." It's not the story that one reads, it's the story that one brings to the story. Phooey.
