Cover title.
"Sensational comic book by artist Ovid P. Adams, featuring the exploits of Black Panther Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver. The story begins with Cleaver exiled in Algeria, reading story after story of crimes perpetrated against American Blacks in the newspaper. One mans plight, laid out in particular detail, affects Cleaver deeply and prompts him to action: the shooting of a Black artist by a white racist in Utah. Cleaver leaves Algeria and enters the U.S. covertly, and the story concludes with Cleaver exacting his vengeance by decapitating the head of the Mormon church in his own office. The comic book was published by Marcus Books, the historic Bay Area independent book shop which specialized in Afro-centric books and merchandise."--Lorne Bair Rare Books, inc.
