Rubbers Bros. Comics. v. 1, no.1- , 1990.

The Rubbers Bros. Reading Club, PO Box 431, Wilbraham, MA 01095. ISBN 1-880058-01-4. $3.25 for 4 issues.

This is an entertaining comic and activity book. Each issue builds upon a story about the Rubbers Brothers battle with A-Man (AIDS). The story line is intended for children and exposes the young readers to becoming comfortable with reading, seeing, and understanding what rubbers are. It is non-suggestive other than pointing out that rubbers are one way to combat AIDS. Each issue includes coloring pages, crossword puzzles and other activities for young people. Granted, this may be a little blunt for some parents who will not see the need of exposing their children to such material; it does, however, provide an excellent educational resource. Peter Mozeleski is to be commended for trying to break the shell that surrounds the word "condom". This will not be a quickly accepted publication, but the editor should not be discouraged. Time will help and certainly the government and religions can help to accept the fact that condoms do help in preventing contact with the AIDS virus. (H. Robert Malinowsky)
