TWO FACES OF COMMUNISM (1961) - 32 page anti-communism comic produced by the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade (CACC)

Based in Houston, Texas (and still existing, at least as a website), the CACC was the brainchild of Australia-born Fred Schwarz, whose fear-based adoption of religious U.S. patriotism brought him fame as a prolific red baiter during the 50s and 60s. Other Fred Schwarz pamphlets include: "Communism - a Disease", "You Can Trust the Communists to Be Communists", "The Heart, Mind and Soul of Communism", and "The Three Faces of Revolution". Note: Only two of the CACC pamphlets were comic books (both a touch hard to find we might add) - there's this one (TWO FACES), and DOUBLE TALK, which is similar in presentation, but focuses instead on public speakers in parks who present communism to crowds.

Additional Notes:

Born in 1913, Schwarz is still around (as of 2008), currently residing in Brisbane Australia. He published his autobiography "Beating the Unbeatable Foe: One Man's Victory Against Communism, Leviathan and the Last Enemy" in 1996.

Other Schwarz titles: The Communist Interpretation of Peace, The Christian Answer to Communism, Can You Trust the Communists?, Communism (Diagnosis and Treatment), Insurance Against Communism, and our favorite: Will the Kremlin Conquer America by 1973?

Fred Schwarz should not be mistaken with Frederick Schwarz, the FAO Schwarz toy mogul.
