Captain Żbik (“Wildcat”) was the protagonist of the 1968 comic book series created to popularize a positive, superhero image of the Citizens’ Militia, the police force in socialist Poland. The series ran for 14 years and the Captain became the country’s most popular comic book character of all time.

3. I think they skipped the part when he shoots the striking workers and beats a 17yo to the death.
