The Mysterious Radio-Active Man!

"By blanking my blank, I will be able to blank the blank and blankety blank!"

In this book we swap out the continued very troubling representations of women for very troubling representations of racial minorities. We open with Thor in India fighting off a Chinese invading force for the local Indian army. He dispatches them with relative ease, leaving behind only discomfort for the white saviour situation in the modern reader, and a burning desire for r...
