Miracleman Explains the Financial Crisis
You know, people are looking everywhere to make sense of the global financial crisis- especially looking to that torch in the darkness-comics- and it occurs to me almost daily that the essentials of it all were explained best back in the 1980′s by Miracleman.
From Miracleman #16, Eclipse Comics, Alan Moore and John Totleben.

Priest did a similar riff back in Black Panther#18.

The funny part is that money is a doubly empty promise now — I hardly ever see actual hard cash from my monthly paycheck. My entire financial worth consists of numbers floating around inside of computers.

Well when you put it that way, it’s even scarier!

And if you don’t believe it, someone will run an I-beam through your chest.
