I was fighting with it being a bald Jon Snow from Planetary due to the art style but the green eyes made me think of Lex in front of Klaus (Who apparently has blue eyes).
Yeah, that was from an issue where Steve Dillon didn't draw it, so that's why it's not apparent. There was a whole volume of prequel issues that gave backstories for the characters, this was was from Starr's initiation into the Grail. He was a member of a German security force, Islamic terrorists hijacked a plane, Starr's team neutralized the threat, but the one hostage casualty was a little girl who took a stray round. Starr held the dead girl and lamented her death. Starr's handler thought his reaction here was him showing his humanity, and it was only after he rose through the ranks did he rebuke this. "She could have been a productive contributor to society, but she died to random happenstance. To create a perfect world where such chaos doesn't happen, I'd sacrifice a million little girls like her to achieve it".
It's been around two decades since I last read them but I was always curious as to Starr's phenotype matching up against Hitler's.
Saw the AMC show, I thought it was pretty good considering the amount of stuff the comics covered. Not enough Arseface for my liking, but then there wasn't enough Jack Frost in The Invisibles comics either. Spin-off characters from main arcs are always the most interesting ones for me :)
He was also fighting record labels when the media originally turned on him.
I remember 1994 I think it was, and they kept saying over and over on the news how Michael Jackson was getting surgery to become white. Was big news for months. Except it turns out it wasnt true was it? Did he not have some kind of skin disease?
I seen some videos of him talking about how evil record labels are years ago, he did a few I believe.
Pretty sure this all happened right before the molestation charges as well. You really dont know someone, but it just seems strange how the media turned on him so quickly before it even happened. Dude seems to genuinely care about people, its hard for me to imagine he actually did it.
How, why or for any reason is unknown. But that's the media for you.
I'm surprised nobody else has come forward with allegations since he is dead and buried now and these things wouldn't have as much clout in these conditions.
-1 for effort.
The song in question as noted by the NYT in 1995
The lyrics to said song:
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
Don't worry what people say, we know the truth
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
Enough is enough of this garbage
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
Skinhead, deadhead
Everybody gone bad
Situation aggravation
Everybody, allegation
In the suite on the news
Everybody, dog food
Bang-bang, shock dead
Everybody's gone mad
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
Beat me, hate me
You could never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Jew me, sue me
Everybody, do me
Kick me, kike me
Don't you black or white me
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I'm a victim of police brutality, now (hm-mm)
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rapin' me of my pride for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy
Set me free
Skinhead, deadhead
Everybody, gone bad
Trepidation, speculation
Everybody, allegation
In the suite on the news
Everybody, dog food
Black man, black mail
Throw the brother in jail
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible 'cause you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwin' me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
You know I really do hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But it Roosevelt was livin', he wouldn't let this be, no, no
Skinhead, deadhead
Everybody, gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody, litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
Some things in life they just don't wanna see (ah)
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no
Skinhead, deadhead (yeah, yeah)
Everybody's gone bad
Situation, segregation (who-hoo)
Everybody, allegation
In the suite on the news
Everybody dog food (whoo-hoo)
Kick me, kike me
Don't you wrong or right me
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
(Don't you flex that, you must to get it)
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (whoo-hoo)
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
The downvote for OP being a faggot and not supplying anything other than a shitty image of Lex Luthor and bullshit text with no source information: ⇩
To everyone else: Happy Friday! :)
Whenever i hear this line i always think "nah he would".
That's Herr Starr from Preacher.

Nice!

That was an interesting show.. i remember watching the segment where herr starr was being recruited. Got me kinda hooked.
OP says you can't listen to the song, but apparently meant you can't listen to the uncensored song.
Example Youtube @ 1:14 where "kike me" has static over it added by the record label.
Its strange how the image says that he od shortly after. After making the song? If so thats not right lol.
For one, it was released in 1995 according to the top comment, and two, mj didnt overdose.
His doctor killed his ass. Damn I cant believe that happened in 2009, my fuck does time fly.
Beast in Black covered this song and they didn't censor it.
He was also fighting record labels when the media originally turned on him.

The media did turn on him, and quicky too.

Pretty much every part of this meme is false:
