The war that was underway in Europe and that the US was soon to join overtly wasn't between imperialists and anti-imperialists, but between states who limited their expansions to territories held by non-Europeans and those who felt that other Europeans too were fair game for such conquest. A <i>broader</i>, anti-imperialist and ant-racist rationalization was adopted <i>in the wake of victory</i>, largely for reasons of expediency. <br /><br />Captain Keen's ability to defeat armed Titan aborigines when himself unarmed is an echo of similar abilities displayed in fiction by colonialist heroes clashing with human aborigines in other lands.

Chained to a wheel she defiantly dares a toad man to whip her. When it's obvious he will she screams for Captain Keen to help her...despite the fact he's chained up as well. Watch what you ask for Nirma!<br /><br />Captain Ken Keen. Now that's alliteration.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639857904766530416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-41930673012561028832019-02-06T03:02:38.445-08:002019-02-06T03:02:38.445-08:00Lev Gleason used the Binder studio, so that might ...Lev Gleason used the Binder studio, so that might narrow down the credits.<br /><br />Next month, Captain Keen meets the Starfish Men!
