Comic Books and the Cold War, 1946Ð1962 by Chris York,Rafiel York Pdf

Conventional wisdom holds that comic books of the post–World War II era are poorly drawn and poorly written publications, notable only for the furor they raised. Contributors to this thoughtful collection, however, demonstrate that these comics constitute complex cultural documents that create a dialogue between mainstream values and alternative beliefs that question or complicate the grand narratives of the era. Close analysis of individual titles, including EC comics, Superman, romance comics, and other, more obscure works, reveals the ways Cold War culture—from atomic anxieties and the nuclear family to communist hysteria and social inequalities—manifests itself in the comic books of the era. By illuminating the complexities of mid-century graphic novels, this study demonstrates that postwar popular culture was far from monolithic in its representation of American values and beliefs.

Nuke 'Em! Classic Cold War Comics Celebrating the End of the World by Aaron Wyn Pdf

Back in the 1950s during the "Cold War" every new day beckoned the possibility of the end of the world. Kids grew up in the shadow of bomb shelters and were treated to daily lessons at school on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. Americans were besieged by constant reminders to police our borders, to carefully watch out for "foreigners" who might be spies, and to be ever vigilant in preparing to combat the "red" menace of communism. Comic books of this era played on these fears with stories of atomic war and world war III. This new historic reprint looks back at those good ole days, which can be viewed in the perspective of today's political climate. This volume reprints the complete runs of Atomic War! and World War III and can be read merely as great action/adventure stories, classic "war" comics or as an eerie, unanticipated commentary on today's tribulations. SPECIAL NOTE: if these extremely rare books were purchased at your local comic shop they would cost well over $1000 in low grade condition!
