BETTER LIVING THROUGH OLD COMICS #5: THE TOWER OF BABEL by Sam Glanzman

Here's a classic DELL Comics "info-page" from Sam Glanzman's legendary/infamous/classic KONA, Monarch of Monster Isle series.  This one is an attempt to impart biblical knowledge, and re-tells the events of Genesis chapter 11. 

Dig Glanzman's cool text and graphics:

This was the inside back cover of KONA #6, originally published back in the Year Of Our Lord 1963 [one year before ol' Albie's birth.]

The caption reads in full:

“Everybody knows that the biblical flood was the DECREE exerted on a world sunk in DISHONOR and WRONGDOING. In fact, LEGENDS the world over, whether they tell the story of a FLOOD, or of a SUNKEN CONTINENT buried under like WATERS OF PUNISHMENT…All agree however that the inhabitants of the PLACE subject to these punishings…were usually of a SUPER or ADVANCED MENTALITY, like the builders of THE TOWER OF BABEL (the tower that was intended to reach up to the very ‘gates of heaven’), their EVIL was said to derive from the DELUSIONS OF GREATNESS their super-mentality engendered. These delusions, according to legend, concluded in that final and super delusion that their INTELLIGENCE made them THE EQUALS OF THE GODS. As ‘equals’ they naturally tried to storm the ‘dwellings of the gods’. The drowning WATERS OF PUNISHMENT was the method the gods used to ‘push the invaders down to DEPTHS even lower than those originally inhabited.’”

Here are a few other artist's renderings of the events of Genesis 11:

Beware of "ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT" movements, eh?

PEACE.
