However, as World War II began, comic books evolved into a form of propaganda, providing information and education for both children and adults. Comics and Conflict examines how comic books were used to display patriotism, valor and adventure through war stories, and eventually to tell of the horrors of combat from World War II through the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan"--Provided by publisher.World War, 1939-1945Social aspectsUnited StatesComic books, strips, etcUnited StatesHistory20th centuryComic books, strips, etcUnited StatesHistory21st centurySuperheroesUnited StatesHistory20th centurySuperheroesUnited StatesHistory21st centuryPropagandaUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPropagandaUnited StatesHistory21st centuryWar and societyUnited StatesHistory20th centuryWar and societyUnited StatesHistory21st centuryWorld War, 1939-1945Social aspectsComic books, strips, etc.HistoryComic books, strips, etc.HistorySuperheroesHistorySuperheroesHistoryPropagandaHistoryPropagandaHistoryWar and societyHistoryWar and societyHistory940.53/1HIS027100HIS054000HIS027000bisacshScott Cord A.1118201MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787045403321Comics and conflict3707229UNINA
