"By 2017, the world economy has collapsed. Food, natural resources and oil are in short supply. A police state, divided into Paramilitary Zones, rules with an iron hand. Television is controlled by the state and a sadistic game show called "The Running Man" has become the most popular program in history. All art, music and communications are censored. No dissent is tolerated and yet a small resistance movement has managed to survive underground. When high-tech gladiators are not enough to suppress the people's yearning for freedom... more direct methods become necessary." Opening narration from The Running Man. The events of the film take place in 2019. ("Running Man", Flm)
Ah, the blissful innocence of the Golden Age, when it was perfectly acceptable to name comic books after street drugs,
Remember, kids: leave that crack (and speed, and pep) alone!
America’s own, Captain Freedom
Classic cover by Rudy Palais from Speed Comics #42, published by Harvey Comics, March 1946.
