Spotlight on JAY PISCOPO

We live in a time when Fascist and self-proclaimed Nazis attack and kill Americans in the streets of Charlottesville and the President of the United States says “I think there is blame on both sides. You look at both sides. I think there is blame on both sides,” “You had some very bad people in that group. You also had some very fine people on both sides,” Yes. the President of the United States thinks some of the Nazis are “fine people” as stated in his own words.

At Marvel, they have turned Captain America into a Fascist and he has joined the Nazi analog, Hydra.

However, Jay Piscopo says SMASH FASCISM!

Jay is known for his work on Sea Ghost, it’s a fun comic and you should check it out!

In this Spotlight, we will showcase Jay’s work on the Golden Age MLJ and DC Universes. Both of which, much like Jay, have remained anti-fascist from their creation until today!

MLJ – Mighty Crusaders

DC – Justice Society of America
