Rare Anthem Comic Book Cover
Objectivist Center ^ | 7/8/03

Posted on 07/08/2003 3:17:20 PM PDT by RJCogburn

Ed Hudgins, Washington director of The Objectivist Center, recently acquired an unusual item: a rare copy of the June 1953 issue of Famous Fantastic Mysteries, a graphic novel that featured a reprint of Ayn Rand’s novelette Anthem. With Ed’s permission, we’re happy to reproduce here the (somewhat lurid!) cover page of this rare graphic novel.

I wonder if Rand approved that garish cover?

Ayn Rand and Franz Kafka - pretty heady stuff. Looks more like a pulp fiction magazine than a comic book

How lurid. (And how interesting). Sure beats guys dressed up in yellow Spandex. Thanks for posting this.

"Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheueren Ungeziefer verwandelt".

Odd juxtaposition, nicht wahr?

Please do not ZOT.

Why would anyone want one?

I think that girl, wearing that dress, has appeared on 55% of the pulp fiction covers ever printed.

I didn't want him to zot the thread. It would be a good graphic to use to zot disruptors with.

That's just how I visualized it.
No, not really. I wonder what the
artwork looked like that went with
the Kafka piece? You know, if
Gregor's sister was a blond, blue-eyed
hottie in diaphanous azure.

Yup, classic case of "a wench on the jacket and no jacket on the wench."

Forget who said that . . .
