Comics as Propaganda during WWII

Comic book characters proved to be persuasive icons in the war’s most colorful and indelible propaganda campaign. Presented by Dr. James Kimble from Seton Hall University.

The Allied victory in World War II relied on far more than courageous soldiers. One of the most overlooked aspects of these efforts involved a surprising initiative - comic book propaganda. Even before Pearl Harbor, the comic book industry enlisted a formidable army of artists, writers, and editors to dramatize the conflict for readers of every age and interest. Ultimately those comic book characters proved to be persuasive icons in the war’s most colorful and indelible propaganda campaign.Presenter: Dr. James Kimble, Associate Professor of Communication, Seton Hall University.
