[coloured comic book] JOHN F. KENNEDY. NEW U.S. PRESIDENT.

4to (25 x 17.5 cm), 16 pages. Stapled. Colour throughout. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. An interesting piece of Kennedy ephemera, using the comic-book medium in a serious manner at the beginning of the 'Pop Art' era. Attractively and professionally drawn, and laid out in panels like a Marvel or DC Comic. Giving a positive account of Kennedy's background and political activities (for example his 'forward looking stand on U.S. domestic issues'). Caption to last panel reads 'On January 20, 1961 Kennedy and Johnson were inaugurated President and Vice President for a four year term. In America's democracy, both must prove their worth in this term in order to be re-elected in 1964 . . .'. Back cover carries a list, with portraits, of the U.S. Presidents. Described by one authority as 'previously unknown', only two other copies have been noted: one at the United States. Tjwo copies have recently been discovered - one in the Belgian Embassy and the other in Brisbane. The item is said to have been distributed by the USIS (United States Information Service) to US Embassies.
