THE OFFICIAL COUNTERFEITER (PDF comic book)
Here's the story of this neat little economics cartoon book from the Daily Paul Liberty Forum:
Vic Lockman is a former Disney cartoonist who actually created some of the Disney characters. He went on to use his illustrative talents to produce compelling educational comics. One of my favorites has always been "The Official Counterfeiter", which is now out of print. Although it was written over 40 years ago, apart from the huge increase in the debt numbers today, it is still an amazingly clear and convincing presentation of the principles of sound economics and the official counterfeiter, the Federal Reserve.
Mr. Lockman graciously gave his permission to digitize "The Official Counterfeiter" since I felt it to be such a powerful tool to help practically anyone understand the destructive and immoral influence of the Federal Reserve System.
Mr. Lockman writes from a Biblical perspective, so this is particularly appropriate for evangelical Christians who do not fully understand Ron Paul's preoccupation with the Fed. However, the Christian perspective does not detract from the economic education that anyone will receive from this little gem.

This is really a gem of a website and resources! There is SO much more if you visit Mr. Lockman's website! I would like to encourage anyone to check out his other resources! They are well said. Blessings! and Thank you for your effort in always getting resources together for us "out here."
I tried to download this twice. When I open the downloaded file, I get an error message in Adobe saying "The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is this on my end, or is there a problem with the file?
Thanks!
Diane, see our "Problems?" tab at the top of the page to fix your download errors. The problem is on your end.
I kept getting error message on page 10 when I downloaded by right clicking. Soo, the 3rd time I told it to open and got a dialog box that downloaded the entire book. Hope this helps someone!
This is a great resource! It is a fabulous teaching tool. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
I'm Canadian but still found this informative and entertaining. Thank you, Mr. Lockman! and the Erskines.
Wow! What a wonderful deal Mr. Lockman has given to us all to consider & make use of!
Please, thank him for us!
He is a real gem in the Lord's crown!

Thank you both for this. Love his website and will be ordering some of the drawing books.
Thanks for leaving some of the freebies open for several days! That way I didn't miss the resources on the days I had to be away from my computer.
This one looks excellent!
