Due out on May 11, DC Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration will include stories by Asian-American creators about Asian and Asian-American heroes. Here’s the list of stories that will appear in it:
The new character Monkey Prince will debut in a story written by Gene Luen Yang with art by Bernard Chang. Monkey Prince is inspired by the Monkey King, legendary hero of Chinese mythology and the classic tale Journey to the West. In Yang and Chang’s 12-page story, “The Monkey Prince Hates Superheroes,” Monkey Prince battles and teams up with Shazam! to defeat Dr. Sivana and a Chinese deer demon spirit.
“Masks” – Ram V, writer of Catwoman, Justice League Dark, and The Swamp Thing, teams up with Audrey Mok, the artist of Sera and the Royal Stars, to tell a story featuring Jade Nguyen, a.k.a. Cheshire. Tying into V’s Catwoman run, Selina Kyle’s protégé Shoes has visions of being rescued as a child by Cheshire. Shoes takes these visions as a sign, donning a mask, taking the name “Cheshire Cat,” and asking Selina Kyle to train her. But is Catwoman ready to take on a sidekick?
“Sounds” – Detective Comics writer and Eisner Award winner Mariko Tamaki (Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass) and artist Marcus To team up to tell a story featuring Cassandra Cain, a.k.a. Batgirl. Batgirl struggles to understand words, but with her ability to read body language and uncanny fighting skills, she really doesn’t have to…until she meets someone and wishes that she had the right words—ANY words—to say to them!
“What’s in the Box?” – Cassandra Cain steps into the spotlight once more, but this time with Colin Wilkes, a.k.a. Abuse (who first appeared in Detective Comics #947, October 2008), courtesy of words and art by Dustin Nguyen. Abuse finds Batgirl sitting by a bridge, upset by a comment made by Damian Wayne.
“Dress Code” – Green Lantern Tai Pham makes his first comic book debut in this story by Green Lantern: Legacy writer Minh Lê with artist Trung Le Nguyen. Green Lantern is fighting with Arkillo, and the villain taunts him for his costume “looking like a dress.” This reminds Tai of a memory with his dead grandmother who he inherited his powers from.
“Festival of Heroes” – In a story by writer Amy Chu and artist Marcio Takara influenced by current headlines, Katana, Cyborg and Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) are asked to safeguard an Asian American and Pacific Islander community celebration against potential violence from a white supremacist group. But the heroes are quickly reminded that you don’t need capes, masks, or even special abilities to be a hero.
“Hawke & Kong” – Writer Greg Pak and artist Sumit Kumar team up on a story spotlighting the return of onetime Green Arrow Connor Hawke and Kong Kenan, also known as New Super-Man. Connor and Kenan need to do some quick thinking when a gift for Connor’s Korean aunt gets damaged in a battle with a dragon!
“Special Delivery” – Master of None writer Aniz Ansari makes his comic book debut with artist Sami Basri in this story featuring Robin (Damian Wayne). As Robin ponders about his heritage, he slowly discovers that something about this pizza place seems off…
“Kawaii Kalamity!” – Shadow of the Batgirl writer Sarah Kuhn and illustrator Victoria Ying (Diana: Princess of the Amazons) tell a story about Red Arrow’s reluctance of enjoying “kawaii” things because of people’s general assumptions of what she likes simply based on her Japanese heritage.
“Family Dinner” – Amazon juggernaut Grace Choi has to meet her girlfriend Anissa Pierce’s dad for dinner. But when your girlfriend is Thunder, that means meeting the parents is that much more stressful because her father is Black Lightning!
“Perceptible” – The Good Asian duo of Pornsak Pichetshote (writer) and Alexandre Tefenkgi (artist) tell a tale featuring The Atom (Ryan Choi) trying to defeat a microscopic robot sent from the future…to save our reality as we know it!

(REVIEW) Miscellaneous by Julia Rose Lewis

In this review, Maria Sledmere visits the verdant isle of Julia Rose Lewis’ pamphlet Miscellaneous (Sampson Low, 2019), and engages chaotically with its shape-shifting poetics of ecstasy, digression and slippery things.
> Miscellaneous: of various kinds; elements of different kinds. A little green book full of miscellany. The work of Julia Rose Lewis has been dealing in miscellany (let me say it as much I can, it’s a lovely word) for a while now. Lewis’ collection Phenomenology of the Feral (Knives Forks and Spoons Press 2017) was a veritable assemblage of household objects, clothing items, all things edible (from oranges to gummy bears), tools, chemicals and other substances. Words had a Steinian tendency to slip, where a ‘pear’ becomes ‘peer’ and sugar becomes sand. The whole book teems with a delicious excess of things and their zoomed-in, jostling, merging and almost psychedelic relation (I mean just consider the multicoloured octopus-bunny hybrids on the cover). Her recent pamphlet, Miscellaneous (2019), a slender offering from chapbook series Sampson Low, edited by fellow dealer in poetic animalia, SJ Fowler, continues this playful approach to disordering objects, experience and relation.
> Explicitly ‘inspired’ by Green Eggs and Ham, a classic children’s book by Dr. Seuss, Miscellaneous works with its foodstuffs in a fractal and kind of ecstatic way. Ecstasy meaning rapture or transport; Miscellaneous as a little island of strong emotion. I want to say island, but I could just as easily say green tomato. It’s difficult to resist the seduction of island metaphors during quarantine, and besides, Lewis herself spent time as a child in Nantucket Island. According to the publisher, Miscellaneous ‘asks if it is possible to have a mutually healthy relationship between a human and an island’. In an interview from 2016 with Katy Lewis Hood, Lewis says, ‘I use writing about the place I’m longing for as an antidote; I see islands as stories and stories as islands’. Staying with that chiasmus, might we see Miscellaneous itself as a kind of place? The scales upended sufficient to slip into our pocket, a zoomy island remainder? A dinky little 12-page island you could circle on foot and do it again and again — for this is a book that loves repetition, a veritable jaunt on the anaphora express, a 5-7 syllabic ride on the waves. But it’s difficult to know what constitutes the very land you walk or ride on:
A mane! A terrain! A mane is a terrain through and through and should you be guarding the herd inside the river valley? You hold this territory? Not harnessed! Not in a horse-less carriage!
Lewis plays deliciously with the fact of metaphor as a transport, a vehicle, while thrashing around in the joy of assonance and sound as forces of meaning and meaning’s disruption. What’s more, the repeated invocation of the ‘you’ means I’m forever hailed back to the scene; I can’t leave the island utterly behind, can’t glide drone-like over its landscapes. Besides, maybe it’s more like an archipelago? Terrain is a region of land, a system of rocks or geological formations, a standing-ground or position. Lewis teases us with the ever resolving, dissolving, negating terrains of lyric. Those exclamation marks are surely provocations to the reader, as much as the swept up proclamation of revelling in words themselves (thinking of the upward-looking heart emoji, reacting to a message). Her ‘I’ (perhaps riffing off the O’Haran tradition of I do this I do that poems, via Colin Herd’s I like this I like that variation) is quite demanding, precise, has an eye for arrangement (‘The musk ox is not in the / ocean’), identification, variation, placement (‘They disappear’). As with the effect of haiku (a kind of ‘cut’ of images), she challenges ‘nature’/object relations by similarity and contrast:
I would not like that morose woman faraway, that maiden hair tree. I am that old ginkgo tree.
What is the connection between the morose woman and the maiden hair? Does the fact of the speaker being the ‘old ginkgo’ explain her conditional dislike of the woman? And is the maiden hair tree the same as the woman? With its short, invitational lyrics, Miscellaneous gives you time to wander around the ideas of things, ideas in things. Maybe it’s telling the story of an island which is really a metaphor for Earth: its ‘holding pattern[s]’, its ‘there or anywhere’, its snowy territories, its ‘dry grasses / and mosses’ (v. Eliotic, ‘The Dry Salvages’ of Four Quartets?), its ‘skyhook’, its ‘living fossil leaf’ with ‘many millions of years’ inside it. Crudely speaking, ecopoetry often tries so hard to seem either objective (ecomimesis) or explicitly subjective (Romantic); the speaker of these poems insists on a kind of declarative, shape-shifting reality, whose run-on code requires the user command of something more than human. ‘You hold all the weeks / would you tote the boulders here?’ The labour of bringing the world to life in poetry is more than just reading; you have to really consider toting the boulders of words around. There’s a weird hospitality to this, a gesture of extending the voice: ‘So I / say try the bloom of mold!’. Maybe as a reader I’d speak better the world with the mold in my throat. It’s these kinds of special conditions Miscellaneous gets at so well. What the chapbook gives is a portable miscellany, a set of questions, a dicey and moreish feast of seeing the world anew — at all scales and dwellings, from a ‘ptarmigan nest’ to the air itself. Better eat up.
> Lewis’ smart and choppy lines remind me of the best chefs at the restaurant where I used to work, who would dice veg or make meat cuts with a certain deftness, all the while engaging in dishevelled conversation. I would ask, from which precise bay are the oysters sourced, and the chef would lecture me on the valiance of a 2Pac album. We would swerve from one topic to another by the time of the bell: language defined by the beat and demand of cooking. It was good to feel enslaved to the temporality of the microwave, the rising of bread, the petulant delay on the part of a chicken. And you might say, O maria what does this have to do with Julia Rose Lewis’ new book? And I would say, well, it’s all about iteration, digression, perversion of recipe. The poetic line as the flick of sweaty chef hair, the child’s demanding inquisition, the special way of dodging the question. But don’t let me fill you up with nonsense.
> There’s this weird piece in The Guardian that totally disses Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham, which I’ll admit I haven’t read this side of puberty. The author, Emma Brockes, is pretty damning: ‘two-thirds of the words feel like filler’, ‘the rhyme scheme [...] is like something a kid would throw at a homework assignment so he could finish and run out to play’, ‘[Seuss’] books are creepy, empty, over-long, cheap, twee writing posing as whimsy’. Maybe I don’t have a striped ankle to stand on here, but I can’t help but think Brocke is missing a point somewhere. What’s wrong with poetry that wants to fly through itself quickly, all the better for the writer to go out and play? I’m thinking of something Jack Spicer writes in one of his letters to Lorca, describing how there are times in a poet’s life where ‘the objects change’ when ‘someone intrudes into the poet’s life’ so a certain balance is lost. ‘The seagulls, the greenness of the ocean, the fish—they become things to be traded for a smile or the sound of conversation—counters rather than objects’. You sort of get the feeling Brocke got tired of this (too many counters, too much supposed impeachable brilliance) and upended the board, sending everything scattering to miscellany. Maybe that was the appropriate reaction. I’d like my poetry to have that effect sometimes. And then I’d quite like to run out and play, or fall in love (if we were not in lockdown), or otherwise just write you a blowsy prosy letter.
> There’s this idea of Green Eggs and Ham as a childhood exercise in epistemological questioning. Asking you to think about how experience establishes beliefs about the world. Miscellaneous quite obviously trades in the empirical possibilities of knowing, experimenting in what happens when certain patterns or conditions are put into play (it’s worth noting that Julia Rose Lewis is also a scientist by training). I think of a child stuffing sand in its mouth, learning about size, scale, texture, taste. A child that learns a tomato is good when ripe and sweet. I also think of judging when I might cross the road, or a chemist inching just a *wee* bit more of X in the formula (is that how it works? is it like choosing to add another comma to a poem - what exactly is the risk of explosion?). Every day of our lives we are hedging, testing. ‘If you will then I will try / rain on rain on rain’; how I learn from you, a fashionable imitation in the wearable weather/whether. Things pile up, acquire elemental charge; the poems are teasingly object-oriented; the ‘I’ is an iterative effect of desires, repulsions and relations. Substances effect themselves into life and I think of Francis Ponge and the orange. Expression is something to be ‘endured’. How does an object hold itself in a poem, without being overly squeezed into miscellany, matter? Lewis uses the singsong effects of poetry (repetition, rhyme), to play with causality and intention. In the final poem, for example, is the ‘gold’ ‘old’ and what temporality is ‘golden’; is it the ‘spring /green’ or the speaker who is ‘cold’?
> Miscellaneous in general describes a kind of extra or supplementary category, that which escapes the normative set. Perhaps there is then a case for this being a kind of queer object-oriented poetics. Things are slippery and hungry and irresistibly insistent. They become the book itself, the little object in your hand, tomato green as ‘the spring / green tomatoes in sea salt’, sprinkled with salty little words. This is a case for frivolity and filler and whimsy in poetry, for appetite and affect, salty wit, the necessity of dancing around sentiment, excess, sweetness and swerve. ‘I will eat the spring / fruit upside down’; the fruit of the book you peel again.
Miscellaneous is out now and available from Sampson Low.

Meet the “Boss,” the Original Ford Bronco Raptor from 1969
Googling things sometimes turns up more than just search results. Take Wes Eisenschenk’s discovery of a long lost, incredibly rare 1969 Ford Bronco prototype, which came up after he plugged the rig’s serial number into Google in 2016. As he puts it: “There it was, the missing 1969 Ford Boss Bronco prototype, in an expired eBay listing.” The internet had dredged up what amounts to a 40 years too early Ford Bronco Raptor ideated at the peak of the muscle-car era.
What Is a Boss Bronco?
A Boss Bronco? Yes, Ford built a prototype high-performance Boss Bronco 4×4 in 1969 at its legendary clandestine enterprise Kar-Kraft. The burly SUV featured a blueprinted 1969 Mustang Shelby GT 350 engine, a Hi-Po C4 automatic transmission, and 4.11 limited-slip gears front and rear, among other truly muscular details. Somehow, the one-of-one Boss Bronco survived under the radar for more than 40 years in fantastic original condition.
Wes, who uncovered the Boss Bronco, is an editor at CarTech, the publisher behind the book, “Kar-Kraft: Race Cars, Prototypes and Muscle Cars of Ford’s Special Vehicles Activity Program,” by Charlie Henry. Research for this book dredged up the VIN for the Boss Bronco prototype, which was built to prove the concept of a production high-performance Bronco for then-Ford president Bunkie Knudsen, who with his cohort from General Motors, Larry Shinoda, was largely responsible for Ford’s original Boss Mustang program of 1969–1971.
In production trim, the Bronco’s largest engine in 1969 was a 302. Kar-Kraft installed a warmed-over 351 Windsor. It wasn’t a full Boss V-8, but a performance motor from the 1969 Shelby GT 350.
The original team at Kar-Kraft started with a specially equipped 1969 Bronco Sport, sent to them directly from the Ford assembly line. It was equipped with a 302 V-8, 4.11 gears, a limited-slip diff, and—likely as no coincidence—it was finished in a rare-for-the-year coat of Empire paint—a shade of yellow that was known to be Knudsen’s favorite color. After all, nothing is sacred when looking to have a prototype approved by the Boss’s boss!
To make sure this project—originally referred to as simply the “Special Bronco” in internal documents—was everything a high-performance Bronco should be, Kar-Kraft called in Bill Stroppe to oversee the build. Stroppe, who was running Ford’s off-road racing team, certainly had more than enough experience to know what it would take to build a righteous Bronco. After all, he’d fielded a team of the things to Baja off-road victories for Ford.
The Boss Bronco parked outside Ford Styling in 1969. The Bronco had been repainted years ago, and current owner Colin Comer used this photo when re-applying the hockey-stick stripe and Boss Bronco decals to calculate their correct dimensions.
Among the modifications chosen by the Kar-Kraft team and Stroppe for the Special Bronco (which was soon re-named the Boss Bronco, ostensibly to tie it in with Ford’s existing line of Boss cars), was additional horsepower. Out went the 302 V-8 and in came a 1969 GT 350 210-S-code 351 four-barrel Windsor motor, although the one provided for the Boss Bronco by Ford was also balanced and blueprinted, much as the allegedly “bone stock” engines used for magazine road test cars were said to be back in the day. The V-8 exhaled through a true dual exhaust with glasspack mufflers. Backing up this warmed-over 351 Windsor was a custom Kar-Kraft-fabricated adapter that allowed a Hi-Po C4 automatic transmission to be fitted; it would be the first automatic transmission Ford put in a Bronco.
Stroppe dual shocks were installed at all four corners to help keep the big 15-inch chrome wheels and 10-15LT Gates Commando tires on the ground when the going got rough. Inside, a Stroppe padded steering wheel, Stroppe roll bar, and a Mustang shifter for the C4 were installed, along with custom upholstered panels and aluminum trim to finish the inside of the rear quarter-panels and tailgate for a more upscale look. The rear wheel wells were cut—sorry, first-gen Bronco fans!—and Stroppe fender flares installed for the needed tire clearance, a Cougar Eliminator hood scoop bolted on, and finally, the Boss Mustang-style black hockey-stick stripes with “BOSS BRONCO” lettering were applied.
The finished package was quite impressive. It clearly not only looked the part but performed it, too. Again, the format was not dissimilar to the Ford F-150 Raptor of today—as well as the expected Raptor-fied Bronco model, which will join the revived Bronco lineup sometime soon.
. . . And Why Aren’t There More of Them?
Lee Iacocca famously fired Knudsen before a production Boss Bronco could get off the ground and live up to its promise. Afterward, inventory sheets show Kar-Kraft was supposed to crush the one and only Boss Bronco prototype. Somehow, it escaped. Exactly how is still unknown, but experts suspect it was simply sold to an employee when Kar-Kraft was liquidated in late 1970.
No matter how the Bronco made it into the wild, Wes was the extremely lucky soul who found the Boss Bronco decades later. The muscle truck had sold outside of eBay (remember, the listing had expired by the time Wes happened upon it), so Wes searched and found the ultimate buyer, a man in Washington State, who agreed to sell the Bronco for a nice profit. Wes then posted a picture of the rare prototype on an internet forum looking for further info on it. That’s when Colin Comer saw it.
Colin owns Colin’s Classic Automobiles in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is also a diehard Ford and Shelby authority and collector and has authored numerous books on the subject. He and Wes had worked together at another publishing company, which is how they became friends.
“As soon as I saw Wes’ post on the Boss Bronco, I immediately emailed him and said I had to have it,” Colin said. “Being a huge Ford muscle guy, as well as a long-time early Bronco owner, how could I not? I had no idea the Boss Bronco had survived. To me, it is one of the ultimate early Broncos. Plus the Kar-Kraft and Stroppe connection is just so cool. I didn’t get much sleep until I convinced my buddy Wes to sell it to me! Once we arrived at a deal, I had to sell my Holman-Moody-built 1969 Bronco to help fund the Boss, but I have no regrets.”
Colin was clearly ecstatic to find himself the owner of a significant Ford prototype built at Kar-Kraft.
“The truck was painted once but otherwise untouched. There is zero rust anywhere, which is very rare for an early Bronco. It still has all of its original finishes underneath. It has the original Kar-Kraft-installed Mustang shifter for the C4 automatic and the fabricated transmission adaptor they made, and still had the original engine with its original 210-S tag. Everything down to the original carburetor and original prototype dual exhaust is still on the truck. It shows 60,000 miles and 47 years of use, but it is—amazingly—all there. And that’s what matters.”
Colin compared original Ford photos of the truck from Kar-Kraft to find the SUV’s original hockey-stick stripe dimensions had been changed slightly during its repaint, and the Boss Bronco decals were long gone. Most likely, Kar-Kraft pulled those off before selling the truck to disguise its prototype status.
Colin calculated the original stripe dimensions using the 1969 factory photos and by finding remnants of the originals in the door jambs, then re-sprayed the stripes correctly. He then had a new set of Boss Bronco decals made to return the truck to its original prototype appearance. The Boss Bronco, now out of hiding, sees frequent use by Colin, who has already added a few thousand miles to its odometer. He believes it’s a shame the Boss Bronco never made it to production, as it “would have been a big hit” in 1969, “much like the Ford Raptor is today.”

Me and my friends @nyanpotato @slipperytribe and @chibinel spent most of yesterday working together to try to crack the code of the Welcome to the Wayne symbols!
The biggest break in the cryptology came from me realizing that the first word in the code from “Rise and Shine Sleepyhead” was an eight letter word with a double letter and a fourth letter that’s the same as the last, with this in mind I searched through a list of eight letter words with double letters and tried to find one that fit, eventually settling that “Assemble” made the most sense. With this in mind the next three letters were pretty obviously “The” as it also ended with what I had identified as ‘e’ through both the previous part of the code and due to the intense frequency with which it appeared ( 11 times through most of the codes, and E is the most used letter in the English language) After that I couldnt make much gains on the last word so I moved onto the code from “Like a Happy Happy Bird”, filling in letters I was pretty confident in and ended up with this as the last word
my immediate thought was “Molina” so using that to fill in the rest of the sentence I was left with
“Don’t trust Molina” Next I moved onto the book from Like a Happy Happy Bird and with the letters I had got this
Colin helped to fill in the word “Vessel”, thought we weren’t entirely use due to an issue we kept having with the similarity of the L and A symbols, also as a result of that the letter between e and t was still unclear. At a stumping point I moved onto the one from Mail Those Cards Boys
We all thought “Enemies go home” but we knew it didnt make sense because we had already identified “E” as the small book looking symbol and it was one letter too long. Soon after debating the title of the book from Like a Happy Happy Bird I had an epiphany that the above code made sense read as “Vampires go Home” proving the symbols for V, P and G as well as clearing up our confusion about the “A” symbol, which often times was drawn inconsistently making it a bit harder to not confuse it for a new symbol. We managed to make a bit of headway into both the codes from Today was Waasome and Some Kind of Beekeeping Tap Dancing Whaler but The one from the former didnt seem to make sense and the one from the latter was too small to be properly legible. I can’t wait for new episodes in September so I can continue to make sense of the interesting cryptology scattered through the Wayne and complete the codes that I havent cracked just yet!

Custom Bikes Of The Week: 31 May, 2020
A sleek and sophisticated Thruxton from Massachusetts, a tiny BMW balance bike from the Netherlands, a rare Royal Enfield Interceptor up for auction, and a bizarre folding WW2 ‘parascooter’ from Excelsior—Britain’s first motorcycle company.
BMW K75 balance bike by Roel van Heur A while ago, Roel helped a friend to build a custom K75. Then Roel heard that his mate was expecting a baby—so he decided to build the kid a balance bike, inspired by his dad’s custom.
The Dutch designer started by sketching out the pint-sized two-wheeler in SolidWorks, then bought a pile of stainless steel tubing to build it up. The frame and forks were bent, cut, welded and hand-brushed at home. The fork ‘boots’ are 3D printed plastic items, but they’re just for show, since the forks are rigid.
There’s an alarming level of detail here. Roel had the triple trees laser cut out of stainless, with his own logo etched into the top yoke. Then he welded on the bars, and finished them off with bicycle handlebar tape. The headlight’s an old bolt-on part for classic cars, but it now runs with a small LED inside, and a battery hidden in the steering stem.
The faux fuel tank was 3D printed in two halves, and finished in the same green as the dad’s bike. Better yet, it’s easy to unscrew them, and bolt on a new set if you want to change colors.
As for the hoops, they’re standard 12” balance bike wheels, wrapped in Kenda tires, because the tread pattern reminded Roel of classic motorcycle tires. The seat’s another off-the-shelf balance bike part, albeit a high-end one.
The owner of this mini-Beemer is going to be one stoked little tyke—as soon as he’s big enough to ride it. Who else thinks Roel should put this into production?
Triumph Thruxton by Nova Motorcycles This 2013-model Triumph Thruxton rolled into Nova Motorcycles‘ Massachusetts workshop for a simple spruce up—but the crew had a bigger vision. They’d just seen a bunch of great-looking Triumph customs at a major bike show, but all retained the stock fuel tank. So Nova figured the best way to make their Thruxton really stand out would be to use all-new bodywork.
Nova designed a new tank and tail unit, which was then executed in Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass by nearby specialist Tannermatic. Tannermatic also built the carbon fiber front fender, while Counterbalance Cycles made the seat. The green paint code’s straight out of Aston Martin’s book, complete with a subtle yellow highlight.
But there’s more than just new bodywork at play here. Nova added bolt-on braces to the Triumph frame too, inspired by the work of Colin Seeley. And they engineered a stunning triple tree and ‘floating’ headlight mount, in collaboration with COFAB Engineering.
They also threw a full catalog of Motogadget parts at the build, including a speedo that sits behind a laser-cut acrylic screen in the top yoke.
Other upgrades include a two-into-one exhaust, an air box delete kit and smaller bits from British Customs, an Andreani Misano cartridge kit for the forks, and K-Tech shocks.
Nova also improved the brakes with Brembo parts, and routed the rear lines to inside the frame. Clip-ons, rear-sets, an adaptive LED headlight; the parts list is as mouth watering as the perfectly-proportioned silhouette.
1968 Royal Enfield Interceptor The current day RE Interceptor is a 648 cc parallel twin with fuel injection and disc brakes. But our friends at Silodrome have just given us a glimpse of its ancestor: a rare original 1968 Interceptor that’s about to go on the auction block at Mecum.
The Interceptor was first released in 1960 with a 692 cc parallel twin motor, and was Royal Enfield’s fastest production bike at the time. By 1962, capacity had been bumped up to 736 cc, with a bunch of internal upgrades including a dynamically balanced crankshaft.
This one here is a 1968 Series 1A Interceptor—a model that featured further updates, like a coil ignition, a chromed fuel tank, and a new seat, handlebars and fenders. It’s a looker too, thanks to a full cosmetic revamp done just three years ago, and a fresh mileage of just 19,473 miles. It also has a new clutch, brakes, tires and cable.
Designed to go head-to-head with brands like Triumph and Norton in the US desert racing market, the Interceptor reportedly didn’t sell in big numbers—making good condition examples particularly rare. If this one floats your boat, why not put in a bid? [Via]
The foldable Excelsior Welbike Motorworld by V. Sheyanov is a Russian collection of rare and fascination wartime machinery. They have a knack for finding and restoring the most obscure of motorcycles—like this foldable paratrooper bike.
The Welbike, which came out in 1942, was built by Excelsior—Britain’s first motorcycle company. It was powered by a single cylinder, two-stroke 98 cc engine, mounted horizontally in the frame. It had no gear box, no headlight and just a rear brake, with a top speed of 30 mph on flat terrain.
It was essentially developed as a ‘parascooter,’ to be dropped alongside paratroopers as a mode of transportation on the ground. The Welbike would be stored in a container, and could be assembled in 10 seconds by unfolding its handlebars and raising its seat.
The only problem was, it wasn’t particularly effective. Due to the massive weight difference between the Welbike and the average paratrooper, they would often land far apart from each other. And with tiny wheels and not much power, it was often abandoned in rougher terrain, where going on foot was actually quicker.
Post-war it wasn’t a hit either, since it wasn’t street legal. Most Welbikes ended up being exported to North America, and sold in department stores, before it was discontinued in 1954. The Welbike might not have been particularly successful, but it sure is cute, and has our heads filled with ideas for a modern electric version that could fit in a car’s trunk. [More]

Battles Over Patriotism, Pledge of Allegiance In Schools Span A Century
When a California school principal called controversial quarterback Colin Kaepernick an “anti-American thug” for his protests during the national anthem at NFL football games, passions were inflamed anew over whether patriotism should be taught in America’s schools.
As our new book “Patriotic Education in a Global Age” demonstrates, such debates are longstanding in American history.
ADVERTISEMENT
Posting schoolhouse flags
Seventy-five years ago, at the height of America’s involvement in World War II, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette that guaranteed public school students’ right to refuse to stand in patriotic salute.
Featured Video
Loading Video Content
Barnette’s origins go back to the late 19th century when patriotic societies such as the Grand Army of the Republic – a Civil War veterans’ organization – and the Woman’s Relief Corps – the organization’s women’s auxiliary – launched a campaign to place a flag in every public school classroom. “The reverence of schoolchildren for the flag should be like that of the Israelites for the Ark of the Covenant,” the organization’s commander-in-chief William Warner enthusiastically declared at a rally in 1889.
Three years later, in 1892, the schoolhouse flag movement received a huge boost when The Youth’s Companion – one of the nation’s first weekly magazines to target both adults and their children – hired minister-turned-advertiser Francis Bellamy to develop promotional strategies to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ voyage to America. Bellamy’s national Columbus Day program involved assembling millions of students at their local schools to recite a pledge in salute to the American flag. The magazine profited from flag sales leading up to the event. The United States didn’t have an official pledge of national loyalty, however. So Bellamy composed his own: “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Over the course of the next 40 years, the pledge underwent three revisions.
The first occurred almost immediately following the Columbus Day celebration when Bellamy, unhappy with the rhythm of his original work, inserted the word “to” before “the Republic.” Between 1892 and the end of World War I, this was the 23-word pledge that many states wrote into law.
The second modification occurred in 1923 when the American Legion’s National Americanism Commission recommended that Congress officially adopt Bellamy’s pledge as the national Pledge of Allegiance. Fearing, however, that Bellamy’s opening phrase – “I pledge allegiance to my Flag” – permitted immigrants to pledge allegiance to any flag they desired, the commission revised the line to read, “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.”

Over time, schools adopted the revision. Finally, in 1954, after the federal government included the pledge as part of the U.S. Flag Code during World War II, Congress reacted to the so-called godless communism many believed was infiltrating U.S. public institutions by adding the phrase “under God.”
Mainstreaming the pledge
Throughout the early 20th century, states across the nation passed laws that required student recitation as part of a morning flag salute so that by the time the United States plunged into World War I against Germany in 1917, pledging allegiance to the flag had become the standard beginning to the school day.
This explains why, in October 1935, 10-year-old Billy Gobitas and his 11-year-old sister Lillian were expelled from school after they refused to salute the flag. As Jehovah’s Witnesses who believed that venerating the flag violated God’s prohibition against bowing to graven images, the Gobitas family argued that the flag salute infringed the children’s First Amendment rights.

The Supreme Court eventually heard the case Minersville School District v. Gobitis – a misspelling of the respondent’s surname – and decided for the school district. “We are dealing with an interest inferior to none in the hierarchy of legal values,” Justice Felix Frankfurter wrote for the court’s 8-1 majority, as France was overrun by Hitler’s army: “National unity is the basis of national security.”
Court declares rights
Controversy ensued. Throughout the country, newspapers reported on debates over the flag salute.
Acts of violence were committed against the Jehovah’s Witnesses. These included beatings acts of arson and even a case of tar and feathering.
ADVERTISEMENT
At least partly because of the public’s reaction to the decision, the court agreed to hear another case that involved the flag salute just three years later. This time the case was brought by the families of seven Jehovah’s Witness children expelled in Charleston, West Virginia. Surprising many, the justices decided 6-3 in favor of the families and overruled Gobitis.
On Flag Day, 1943, Justice Robert Jackson delivered the majority opinion in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette. “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion, or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein,” Jackson declared. “If there are any circumstances which permit an exception, they do not now occur to us.”
Although the Barnette decision held that students could not be forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the pledge has remained a mainstay of U.S. public education. Meanwhile, parents continue to oppose the pledgeas a violation of their children’s constitutional rights.
Consequently, legal challenges persist. One of the most recent cases challenged inclusion of the phrase “under God” in the pledge. In this case – Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow – the court did not rule in the matter because the plaintiff who brought the suit lacked standing. Since the case did not address the underlying issue of religious freedom, future challenges are likely.
ADVERTISEMENT
Similarly, Barnette did not address other pledge-related questions, such as whether students need parental permission to opt out of the flag salute. Cases that address this question, among others, continue to be pursued.
Whatever unresolved issues may remain, Barnette established as a matter of constitutional law and fundamental principle of American public life that participation in rituals of national loyalty cannot be compelled. The Supreme Court that rendered that decision clearly understood that non-participation can be well-motivated and should not be construed as a sign of disloyalty or lack of patriotism. The court was also clearly troubled by the vicious attacks on Americans who exercised their constitutional right not to participate.
We should be equally troubled now when we see public school leaders harshly condemn Colin Kaepernick – or any protester, for that matter – for how they choose to exercise their constitutional right to demand equal liberty and justice for all. Kaepernick decided to take a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality against African-Americans. The question we would pose to Kaepernick’s critics is this: How is taking a knee to affirm our country’s highest ideals anti-American?

Prototype 1969 Ford Boss Bronco Resurfaces After 40 Years
Wes Eisenschenk could hardly believe his eyes when he plugged the serial number into Google in 2016 and found a long missing 1969 Ford prototype.
“There it was, the missing 1969 Ford Boss Bronco prototype, in an expired eBay listing.”
A Boss Bronco? Yes, Ford did build, at its legendary clandestine enterprise Kar-Kraft, a prototype high performance Boss Bronco in 1969. It featured a blueprinted 1969 GT 350 Shelby engine, a Hi-Po C4 automatic, and 4.11 limited slip gears front and rear among other truly muscular details. And it somehow survived under the radar for more than 40 years in fantastic original condition.
Wes is an editor at CarTech, the publisher that recently produced the new book, Kar-Kraft: Race Cars, Prototypes and Muscle Cars of Ford’s Special Vehicles Activity Program, by Charlie Henry. Research for this book dredged up the VIN for the Boss Bronco prototype, which was built to prove the concept of a production high-performance Bronco for then Ford President Bunkie Knudsen, who with his cohort from GM, Larry Shinoda, is largely responsible for Ford’s original Boss Mustang program of 1969-1971.
The team at Kar-Kraft started with a specially equipped 1969 Bronco Sport sent to them directly from the Ford assembly line. It was equipped with a 302 V-8, 4.11 gears with limited slip, and—likely as no coincidence—it was finished in the rare Empire paint, a shade of yellow that matched what was known to be Knudsen’s favorite color. After all, nothing is sacred when looking to have a prototype approved by the Boss!
To make sure this project, originally referred to as simply the Special Bronco in internal documents, would be everything a high-performance Bronco should be, Kar-Kraft also called in Bill Stroppe to oversee the build effort for this special truck. Stroppe, who was running Ford’s off-road racing team, certainly had more than enough experience to know what it would take to build a righteous Bronco after fielding a team of them to victories for Ford.
Among the modifications chosen by the Kar-Kraft team and Stroppe for the Special Bronco, which was soon re-named the Boss Bronco, ostensibly to tie in to Ford’s existing line of Boss cars beyond just the obvious homage to Knudsen, was adding more power. This was accomplished by swapping in a 1969 GT 350 210-S-code 351 four-barrel Windsor motor, although the one provided for the Boss Bronco by Ford was also balanced and blueprinted, much as the “bone stock” engines used for magazine road test cars were back in the day. It exhaled through a true dual exhaust with glasspack mufflers. Backing up this warmed over 351W was a custom Kar-Kraft-fabricated adapter that allowed a Hi-Po C4 automatic transmission to be fitted as well, the first automatic transmission installed in a Bronco by Ford.
Stroppe dual shocks were installed at all four corners to help keep the big 15×10-inch chrome wheels and 10-15LT Gates Commando tires on the ground when the going got rough.
Inside, a Stroppe padded steering wheel, Stroppe rollbar, and a Mustang shifter for the C4 were installed, along with custom upholstered panels and aluminum trim to finish the inside of the rear quarter-panels and tailgate for a more upscale look. On the outside the rear wheel wells were cut and Stroppe fender flares installed for the needed tire clearance, a Cougar Eliminator hood scoop bolted on, and finally the black hockey-stick stripes with BOSS BRONCO lettering was applied.
The finished package was quite impressive. It clearly not only looked the part but performed as well as they hoped their special high-performance Bronco would.
Yet, as good as it was, as luck would have it Lee Iacocca famously fired Knudsen before a production Boss Bronco could get off the ground. Afterwards, inventory sheets show Kar-Kraft was supposed to crush the one and only prototype.
But somehow it escaped. Exactly how is still unknown, but experts suspect it was simply sold to an employee when Kar-Kraft was liquidated in late 1970. But no matter how it made it into the wild, Wes was the extremely lucky soul who found the Boss Bronco many decades later. The muscle truck had sold outside of eBay, so Wes searched and found the ultimate buyer, a man in Washington State, who agreed to sell the Bronco for a nice profit. Wes then posted a picture of the rare prototype on an Internet forum looking for further info on it. And that’s when Colin Comer saw it.
Colin owns Colin’s Classic Automobiles located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is also a diehard Ford and Shelby authority and collector and has authored numerous books on the subject. He and Wes had worked together at another publishing company, which is how they became friends.
“As soon as I saw Wes’s post on the Boss Bronco, I immediately emailed him and said I had to have it,” Colin said. “Being a huge Ford muscle guy, as well as a long-time early Bronco owner, how could I not? I had no idea the Boss Bronco had survived. To me it is one of the ultimate early Broncos. Plus the Kar-Kraft and Stroppe connection is just so cool. I didn’t get much sleep until I convinced my buddy Wes to sell it to me! Once we arrived at a deal, I had to sell my Holman-Moody-built 1969 Bronco to help fund the Boss, but I have no regrets.”
Colin was clearly ecstatic to find himself the owner of a significant Ford prototype built at Kar-Kraft.
“The truck was painted once but otherwise untouched. There is zero rust anywhere, which is very rare for an early Bronco. It still has all of its original finishes underneath. It has the original Kar-Kraft-installed Mustang shifter for the C4 automatic and the fabricated transmission adaptor they made, and still had the original engine with its original 210-S tag. Everything down to the original carburetor and original prototype dual exhaust is still on the truck. It shows 60,000 miles and 47 years of use, but it is amazingly all there. And that’s what matters.”
Colin compared original Ford photos of the truck from Kar-Kraft to find the original hockey-stick stripe dimensions had been changed slightly during the repaint, and the Boss Bronco decals were long gone. Most probably Kar-Kraft pulled those off before selling the truck to disguise its prototype status.
Colin calculated the original stripe dimensions using the 1969 factory photos and by finding remnants of the originals in the door jambs, then re-sprayed the stripes correctly. He then had a new set of Boss Bronco decals made to return the truck to its original prototype appearance. The Boss Bronco, now out of hiding, sees frequent use by Colin, who has already added a few thousand miles to its odometer. He believes it’s a shame the Boss Bronco never made it to production, as it “would have been a big hit” in 1969, “much like the Ford Raptor is today.”
At a Glance 1969 Boss Bronco Owned by: Colin Comer Restored by: Unrestored Engine: 351ci/290hp 210-S Windsor V-8 Transmission: C4 3-speed automatic Axles: Dana 30 front, Ford 9-inch rear with 4.11 gears and limited slip Interior: White vinyl bucket seat Wheels: 15×10 custom Tires: 32×11.50R15LT BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 Special parts: Shelby GT 350 210-S engine; C4 transmission with Mustang shifter; special paint, stripes, and decals; Stroppe rollbar, dual shocks and fender flares; Cougar Eliminator hood scoop; custom wheels Captions
The Boss Bronco parked outside Ford Styling in 1969. The Bronco had been repainted years ago, and current owner Colin Comer used this photo when re-applying the hockey-stick stripe and Boss Bronco decals to calculate their correct dimensions.
The Boss Bronco was found in excellent original condition. One man owned the Bronco for nearly 40 years. His family called it the “Bumblebee Bronco.”
When Colin got the Boss Bronco, it wore a new set of “huge 15-inch American Racing wheels” put on by the Washington State owner. Colin had a set of custom 15-inch chrome wheels made, with 10-inch hoops welded to Ford centers, to duplicate the original wheels—the same kind of wheels also used on other Stroppe trucks and Baja Broncos that followed.
In production trim, the Bronco’s largest engine in 1969 was a 302. Kar-Kraft installed a warmed-over 351 Windsor. It wasn’t a full Boss V-8, but a performance motor from the 1969 Shelby GT 350.
Incredibly, the original engine tag was still on the 351 Windsor. The 210-S designation decodes as an M-code 351 Windsor four-barrel engine for a GT 350 with a four-speed manual transmission. The other data on the tag: A6-January 6; 351-engine size; E69-E for Windsor plant, 69 for 1969; 3-change level, denoting a mid-year change to the engine.
Kar Kraft used an off-the-shelf Cougar Eliminator hood scoop on the Boss Bronco prototype. This Ford may be a 4×4 Bronco, but it’s a muscle Bronco. Imagine a Shelby GT 350 engine spinning 4.11 gears front and rear!
The interior was in good condition, as found, but Colin tracked down N.O.S. seat material to re-cover the splitting front seat cushions.
Kar-Kraft converted the manual transmission to a C4, making this the first Bronco known to receive an automatic at Ford. (The lever in front of the C4 shifter is for the Bronco’s transfer case.) Bill Stroppe was running Ford’s off-road racing team in 1969 and flew into Detroit for nine days to help engineer the Boss Bronco build.
A Stroppe rollbar was part of the Boss Bronco prototype build. Kar-Kraft used Premier brand aircraft-spec bolts, just as it did on the GT-40 program.
Colin brought the Boss Bronco to the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in 2017 to be part of the special Kars of Kar-Kraft display.
Research for this new book by Charlie Henry, published by “CarTech” is the catalyst that found the Boss Bronco. (CarTech Books Photo)
