DESPERATE DAN


This 1978 Desperate Dan annual is perhaps most notable for the extraordinary - if possibly unintentional - levels of racism featured in the subtly-titled strip Chinkee Chinkee China Boys, in which Dan tries to shake off a couple of Chinese slaves he's been given! Want an example?

Chinks, Sambos and Darkies - wow! Add to that dialogue like "velly good O Master, we comee too" and you have to wonder what they were thinking at D.C. Thompson. Remember this was the end of the Seventies, not the 1930s!
