Best looking and dressed revolutionary

I didn't know the Hungarians had such good looking freedom fighters. If you have the time this 1960 propaganda comic is a pretty interesting read. Here is the description from the web page -

"Treasure Chest was a monthly comic book published by the Catholic Guild from 1946 to 1972. Each issue featured several different stories intended to inspire citizenship, morality, and patriotism. In the 1961, volume 17 number 2 issue, the story "This Godless Communism" began. It continued in the even numbered issues through number 20. The entire story is presented here."

If you don't have time to read the whole thing do check out the the drawing of Nikita Khrushchev. He might not have been a good looking man but if you only saw this you would think he was part wild boar.
