Cool! I've been reading the "Buster" comics since I was a kid, back
when Buster was mainly just overthrowing Mossedegh and installing the
Shah, back when Buster was killing Lumumba and other Axis of Evil
henchmen in Africa and the rest of the Turd World.
Things got more exciting when Buster was sent by Langley down to
Managua to mine its harbors...it was cool when Buster got to go out on
missions with the Navy SEALs to stop those Evil Doers in Nicaragua who
had shown their evil colors by democratically electing Daniel Ortega!
If only we'd mined French harbors after Chirac was elected we might not
have so many loyalty problems from those cheese-eating surrender
monkeys. And the bombing of the La Belle discotheque in 1986 was just a
minor effort by Buster, but it turned out to have excellent
consequences. What a series!
However, my collection of Buster comics is incomplete. I'm missing
Issue #103, the one where Buster helps the Cuban freedom fighters blow
up a civilian Air Cubana flight. I think the Cubans in Miami bought up
all the copies, putting it in short supply. I know the Voice of
America, the publisher, has re-printed all the Busters, but the new
ones just aren't as collectible. And what's with the CD-ROM business?
Like, how may Turd Worlders even have CD readers to read about Buster
and become loyal to the U.S.?
Another rare issue is #225, the one where Buster is sent to Afghanistan
to arm them with Stinger missiles capable of shooting down commercial
jetliners. By the way, I hear that "Buster" #300, due out soon, will
deal with Buster's help with one of these Stingers in the Reichstag
shootdown of an Air France 747 in Seattle, a necessary step to ensure
the loyalty of all Americans in the noble struggle against (Some)
Terrorists. This is supposed to be the issue where Buster finally
leaves the field and becomes Director of Internal Security for the
Reich.
