Greetings from a rather random corner of Southern California, where I find myself pursuing the heart-and-soul of my next book. While I’m busy interviewing an eyewitness to historic events that the bulk of Americans have long forgotten, please take a moment to delve into the University of Nebraska’s rich trove of government-issued comics. Given Microkhan’s longtime fascination with all things Soviet—damn you, Amerika and Hendrick Smith—the illustrated booklet about the technology of Warsaw Pact armies(above) couldn’t help but make an impression. An early precursor to the PowerPoint presentation, perhaps.
