Wilt. 520 "The Allied victory in World War II relied on far more than courageous soldiers. Americans on the home front constantly supported the war effort in the form of factory work, war bond purchases, salvage drives, and morale-rallying efforts. Motivating these men, women, and children to keep doing their bit during the war was among the conflict's most urgent tasks. 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 its formidable army of artists, writers, and editors to dramatize the conflict for readers of every age and interest. Comic book superheroes and everyday characters modeled positive behaviors and encouraged readers to keep scrapping. Ultimately those characters proved to be persuasive icons in the war's most colorful and indelible propaganda campaign. The 10 Cent War presents a riveting analysis of how different types of comic books and comic book characters supplied reasons and means to support the war effort. The contributors demonstrate that, free of government control, these appeals produced this overall imperative. The book discusses the role of such major characters as Superman, Wonder Woman, and Uncle Sam along with a host of such minor characters as kid gangs and superhero sidekicks. It even considers novelty and small presses, providing a well-rounded look at the many ways that comic books served as popular propaganda."-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc. |zUnited States |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xLiterature and the war. 650 0 National characteristics, American, in literature. 650 0 Literature and society |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 611 27 World War (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 700 1 Knapp, Trischa Goodnow, |eeditor. 700 1 Kimble, James J., |d1966- |eeditor. 776 08 |iOnline version: |t10 cent war. |dJackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2017 |z9781496810311 |w(DLC) 2016033011 852 0 |bstacks |hPN6725 |i.A13 2016
