'Blood Is the Harvest' — American anti-communist comic book published in 1950.
The plot is a reimagining of the real life case of Pavlik Morozov, a Soviet boy who allegedly reported his father to the authorities in 1932, later resulting in his own murder at the hands of vengeful family members.
In the comic Morosov is depicted as a victim of communist brainwashing, rather than the heroic martyr figure of Soviet propaganda. Full scan here: lcamtuf.coredump.cx
The comic was published by the 'Catechetical Guild Educational Society of Saint Paul', a Catholic group based in Minnesota that created a few anti-communist comics in the early Cold War.
