I have to admit, I was pretty stoked to see what the APPT would do in space, but I was a bit disappointed. The possibilities of an infinitely expandable machine in a zero gravity environment...I was thinking we'd get some Yog-Sothoth looking stuff:
Sadly, much more conventional. And the story was a bit much, in that an African dictator and a Middle Eastern terrorist team up and bury landmines on the Moon.
Yep.
This one was a bit racist. I can see what Weiss is aiming for, but the comic falls short of the target. I think he wanted to show how stupid these kinds of regimes are, fundamentally, but there was a bit much stereotype on display for my comfort level. Gotta remember, though, that in 1986, stuff from 1956 didn't age very well. It's just weird to see it within my own lifetime.
