Barack Panther vs. the Tremendous Trump

In this 2018 one-shot from Antarctic Press, artist Kelsey Shannon brings to life a satirical clash between two political icons, reimagined as superhero and supervillain. The comic pits a noble, panther-suited Barack Obama against a monstrous, orange-hued Donald Trump in a battle of ideals and absurdity. It stands as a pointed, single-issue artifact of the hyper-polarized late-2010s, using comic-book tropes to lampoon contemporary politics.
