Torches of Freedom
Edwards Bernays known as “the father of public relations”. Lots of the propoganda technqiues that are employed today are based on the ground work this man laid down.
In panel six, Malachi makes reference to ‘Torches of Freedom’. Give the linked wiki article a quick read. It’s interesting stuff as is Bernays’ work in general.
Only ran one page this week as the following two pages really need to run consequentially. You’ll see why when they’re up.
If you’ve enjoyed the comic so far, I post upcoming designs and sketches over on my Patreon page. Soon I’ll be uploading the previous issues in PDF format onto there. So why not help the creation of VANGUARD and throw a few quid/bucks into the pot?

I’m sure one of those techniques is maintaining an enemy. Nothing rallies people together better than a common boogeyman. Like, maybe, a super villain who killed off the national hero team and prime minister of the country and could return at any time to cause untold destruction and loss of life.
