Retro Anti U.S. Chinese Propaganda Cartoons Gallery

Found this hilarious gallery of anti U.S. propaganda cartoons taken from Chinese newspapers published during 1958 to 1960.   

 

This particularly funny cartoon mocked the failures of the then troubled Project Vanguard  U.S. space program, after the erstwhile U.S.S.R. successfully launched the Sputnik 1 satellite in 1957.

Amazing Steampunk Diving Suits and Submarines

The Upcool site has some mind-blowing pictures of old underwater diving suits and submarines.
Some of the diving suits can be described as distinctively ‘steampunk’ in appearance, even though the term refers to a genre of fantasy fiction set in the Victorian era. 

I really love this particular suit. Just imagine what that hook can [...]

Retro Italian Adult Comic Book Covers Gallery

I found this amazing collection of vintage Italian adult comic book covers on Flickr. The gallery includes covers of the infamous “Isabella” comic, illustrated by the great Sandro Angiolini.
The artsy covers feature some buxom Italian beauties in various states of undress, so it’s completely fun, but NSFW.
Ah, Flickr. You just keep on giving.

Rare Color Photographs Taken During the Nazi Occupation of Paris During World War II

An exhibition of rare color photographs taken of a purportedly cheerful Paris under German occupation during the second World War, has touched a raw nerve among certain politicians and old timers.

The Japanese Spider-Man and El Mariachi - Funny Retro Clip

Charlie Chaplin was a true master of the silent film era. Though he did not have the advantages of modern technology, he was one of the most influential personalities to ever make films. Hailed as one of the finest performers to grace the silver screen, Chaplin’s expressive face and pantomime act helped him to express [...]

I Drink Your Blood - Exploitation Film Trailer

More retro movie madness this time. I Drink your Blood / I Eat Your Skin was a 1970 double feature,  a monstrosity which was "inspired" by the the vicious crimes of the Charles Manson family.

Watch the final climatic moments of ‘Korkusuz’, a Turkish film directed by cult film legend Cetin Inanc.
