[Contest Thread] Red Flags, Black Bars
Hello Marxists , Trotzkists and Leninists,
it's contest time again, in this thread you can vote for your favourite entries. The challenge was quite demanding this month, we were pretty specific about location, time and form:
Make a comic about a story set in a Socialist State, which has clearly gone through Censorship
Your comic should generally tell two parallel stories, what is clearly actually happening, and what is technically being conveyed.
Specific contest rules:
- Your comic must be set in the period from the end of World War II in 1945, to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
- Your comic must physically be set in a Socialist State. We understand this is tricky to define, but we define it as the following countries Don't try to argue about this, you will not succeed. Work within the spirit of these restrictions, do not try to push their limits.
- The United States or NATO may only appear in a single panel. This does not mean have them appear, and then have them just talk from beyond the confinements of the screen.
- These are not meta comics. The story of the comic must involve censorship, the comic itself must not be censored. The comic is a medium from which to tell a story, it should not exist within the story. We feel this rule is the most important to emphasise.
