Latest $1 bin find, Amanda Waller uncensored (Checkmate #8 1988)

Well yesterday I found a copy of Checkmate #8 in the $1 bins at one of the comic shops I frequent. I'm afraid of the loot of $1 comics I went home with this was the only one from DC. The first Checkmate series was pretty graphic as far as mainstream DC titles went. Which was part of it's appeal aside from the whole secret service and political back drop for the series. In this issue Waller ties a major internal security breach to a freelance mercenary by the name of Black Thorn.
Waller uses the word bitch exactly three times with a "Goddamn" thrown in toward the end for good measure. Also in the last scene of the issue another character tells a fellow agent at Checkmate "If you ever compromise security like that again I'll kick your ass". Pretty wild stuff for the late 80s you can see more clip art from the issue http://suicidesquadtaskforcex.blogspot.com/2012/05/checkmate-volume-1.html

I gotta tell ya folks. This was one of five back issues I picked up yesterday and I also took the time to browse at some new stuff on the shelves. I've just felt so detached from new comics in recent months. I'm happy to check out some of it online in reviews and what not but when it comes to doling out my money nothing makes me happier then to spend it on stuff like this. I guess I'm just kinda old fashioned that way.
