The Red Iceberg [ashcan]

An unusual artifact of Cold War-era publishing, The Red Iceberg is a single-issue comic from 1960, released by the Catechetical Guild Educational Society. A starkly propagandistic educational pamphlet, it uses a dramatic allegorical tale to warn young readers about the dangers of communist infiltration and ideology. Though only a one-shot, it endures as a fascinating, blunt historical document of its time—a comic explicitly designed to teach, not entertain, and a stark reminder of how the medium was once used for ideological instruction.
