Four young evacuees from Sacramento, California read comic books at the newsstand in the Tule Lake Relocation Center. Newell, California, 1942. 

The “evacuees” are Japanese Americans, forced into an internment camp. The one on the left is reading MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS #34, which contains the stories “Exposed! The Jap Invaders” and “Dr. Watson Makes Monkeys Out of the Japs.”

I would like to start an official movement to replace the prevalence of manpain in fiction with granpain.

A grandmother’s boyfriend is left dead in her apartment.  She cradles the body tenderly.  Her face hardens.  SHE WILL GET HER REVENGE.

A grandmother stands on a roof, in a billowy leather coat.  A single perfect tear trickles down her cheek — but when she turns around to confront her ten attackers, there is no trace of it.

“No,” says a grandmother, when her grandchildren attempt to dissuade her from her lonely path of vigilante justice, and turns her sad, noble profile to the side.  “I work alone.”

GRANPAIN.
