Overall interesting read about the use of comics by the US government for recrutement, for prevention, for education, etc.
This book includes extracts with notes to put them back into their context.

Did you know Dr Seuss worked for the military? In this extract, his style is very recognizable... These drawings were to inform soldiers about malaria, and how to protect themselves.
So far quite an interesting book overall about the use of comics by the US government.

mandarchy I think mosts artists were involved in the war effort. Many instructional films for soldiers were produced by Disney and Warner Brothers using the same animators and voice characters that you are probably familiar with. 2y
Adventures-of-a-French-Reader @mandarchy Yes, but it wasn't only during war times. It's interesting to see how they evolve through time. 2y
