Jane L. Chapman & Adam Sherif 
Comics and the World Wars [PDF ebook] 
A Cultural Record

Support

This transnational, interdisciplinary study argues for the use of comics as a primary source. In recuperating currently unknown or neglected strips the authors demonstrate that these examples, produced during the World Wars, act as an important cultural record, providing, amongst other information, a barometer for contemporary popular thinking.
