Air Raid Robertson

For those of you unfamiliar with the dark trenches of comic book history The Claw is a supervillain from the 1940's. He was hardly the only ugly example of The Yellow Peril in the comic book world but he was certainly the most flamboyant. His best known adventures were the ones scripted and drawn by Plastic Man creator Jack Cole.

I know some of you will give me some flak for using such a racist figure in Air Raid Robertson. It isn't something that I do lightly. I'd recommend anyone who's offended by this cartoon to reserve judgement until the next few installments appear. I intend for this storyline to be a spoof on racial caricatures in comic book history. A couple of you might change your mind once you see what I have planned.

Of course, I am fully aware that there are many out there who are unconvincable. It is what it is.
